I've got guide data now, by sorting out scheduals direct.
Unfortunately, no "watch this channel" does not work, it tries, then
returns to the guide page.
I don't use live TV function, but, I tested successfully watching another
channel.

trieli at mythtv:~$ wget http://127.0.0.1/playlist.m3u

Cutting and pasting the URL from the playlist into a FireFox browser works.

Mythweb was not set up, So I did "sudo apt install mythweb -y", might there
be permission limitations here?
