I registered for a 7 day of Schedules Direct trial yesterday, hoping
to test this service out before paying to use it.

I use MythTV on Ubuntu Intrepid.

When running mythfilldatabase, I get a lot of errors such as this one:

2009-01-15 14:49:44.715 Grabbing listing data

They scroll by very quickly. 

As a result, my database is not populated with TV schedule.

Sadly, MythTV is not telling me anything useful such as what
credentials it uses and what exactly it tries to pull, but I
definitely specified right credentials upon running mythtv-setup.

A few hundred lines later, mythfilldatabase succeeded pulling some
other files and said DataDirect: Your subscription expires on 01/21/09
08:03:11, which suggests that the credentials that I supplied are
correct.

The end result is that I have no schedule, so mythtv does not
work. The symptom is that when I select "Watch TV" I return right back
to the original menu with zero explanation. Mythtv-status says:

==>mythtv-status 
No config found; attempting to find mythbackend via UPnP.
