<br><br>I'm not sure it this is relevant, but as a heads up - there is (or<br>was) a bug in tv_grab_uk_rt which meant that when it is run *not*<br>inside a terminal window (eg run from cron (or possibly mythtv) then<br>
tv_grab_uk_rt doesn't append the <\tv> to the end of its output, and<br>mythfilldatabase chokes on the xmltv data, producing the "no programs<br>found in data" error message.<br><br>Maybe this bug has just appeared in the packaged version of xmltv?
