[mythtv] problems on first run...

[Stephan Wentz]

ok, then the only problem left is getting tv_grab_de to work... anyone know 
what has to be done to get it working? or why it doesn't work right now?
i've seen that there are no real channel definitions in the list, could this 
be the problem? or has the program-data errors?

bye, stephan
