this looks interesting, but I can never retrieve the channels.
Mythsetup actually does go to SD to fetch, but it never retrieves
anything (according to the terminal output)

I can't seem to copy the text output (is that an xterm?) and I don't
see this same output in the mythbackend.log,  but I see:

.. Updating source #7 (Comcast Digital All) with grabber schedulesdirect1
... No channels are configures to use grabber.
... Grabbing channel data.
... http://webservices.....
.
.

...connected

Then it goes thru the typical rolling <=> of mythfilldatabase and then quits.

But, no data is downloaded.

I have no problem with SD or mythfilldatabase as I just ran it and it
downloaded fine.

Any ideas?
