i do have four sources defined in mythtv. that is how i am filling the 
database. i don't know yet about the current sd implementation, but the 
prior went from only the sources defined on schedules direct which in 
my case were 2. so the automatic grabber would insert channels where i 
did not want them. i used the xmltv grabber, with sd as source and made 
separate configs with the channels i wanted for each source and took 
the resulting 4 files and then used mythfilldatabase command to 
populate and it worked fine that way through batch files and cron.

i only switched to the tvguide setup because i like the listings 
content better and did not realize it was a toc violation based on info 
at webgrabplus (as abo.ve).


i am getting off topic of the post which is that from a command line 
the mythfilldatabase is no longer picking up star ratings from valid 
xml files, so i was trying to figure out if it was the change in the 
parser or something in my system
