I've been trying to set up my Myth system (after a long hiatus) with the
latest version. Complete rebuild, of software.   I have the same issue.  At
one point I had OTA program schedule for one group of channels (single
freq.) but even that isn't working now.  Schedules Direct doesn't update
anything when I run mythfilldatabase, but it runs.
