[mythtv-users] Can't get mythfilldatabase to fill database

[Greg Hermsen]

I had a similar problem.  I did not choose a lineup on the
SchedulesDirect.org.  Once I did so, everything worked great.  Log in to
schedules direct and create a lineup.  It will ask for your zip code, then
give a listing of possible proivders...over the air, cable company name,
direct tv, etc.  Even if you think you did this, double check.

Good luck.
