Interesting. I thought it was just my setup. I am running SVN 14513 and 
tried the Channel Editor on the weekend for one channel which was all 
'Unknown' for its listings. Probe seemed to hang for me too. I did not 
wait any period of time. (I went elsewhere and worked on it. I actually 
had mistyped the xmltvid when I fiddled with the channel...its a 
digital, but using an analog broadcast xmltvid.)

So maybe the Probe function is borked?

Anyone else?
