Your formatting's got a bit messed up in my mail viewer.  It looks like
one of the entries has a blank 'xmltvid' field? Is that the one that was
there before you ran mythfilldatabase?

If so you should have manually entered the xmltvid before running
mythfilldatabase.

At least that was how it was when I last did a setup.  Maybe
tv_grab_uk_rt has got cleverer since then but it's still difficult for
it to automatically synchronise with a dvb channel scan I think.

Thanks, that explains where I went wrong. Seems other people have also
got caught by this.

Although I had read this before posting it needed your comment to
finally get it into my head.

Thanks David @ Mike for the replies.
