(use --help)"

I know that something is not working, because selecting listings from 
mythweb shows NO DATA for half of my channels when using the new 
replacement service, and shows listings for all of them when using the 
existing service. So there is something different about it.

I will try to capture a TCP dump later today to see if the missing 
listings data is being sent by the SD service or not.
