[mythtv-users] Mythfilldatabase missing some data on some channels

[Allen Edwards]

Well, that might just be the problem.  I see in MythWeb that all the use
EIT boxes were checked even though there is no check on the setup page.

These are "features" I don't recall from 10 years ago when I last setup my
system.  Maybe they didn't exist or maybe I don't remember.

Anyway, thanks as that is very likely the cause of my problem.
