[mythtv] where to configure datadirect?

[IvanK.]

You setup DataDirect through the setup program that configures the backend.  
If you're compiling from source (and if you use cvs you must be doing just 
that), go to mythtv/setup and run ./setup.  Go to Video Source and where it 
says XMLTV, change to DataDirect, enter your username and password, retrieve 
your lineup and you're done.  Of course you must already have a DataDirect 
"account" for this to work.

Also, a big WARNING!!!!! You need a relatively new wget.  I had wget-1.8.2 and 
it didn't have one command-line switch needed for datadirect to work with 
mythfilldatabase.  The switch in question is --post-file.  To be sure you 
have it, compile and install wget-1.9.1.

A better description must find its way into the documentation.  Plus we have 
to find a way to alert everyone to upgrade to tv_grab_na_dd since zap2it have 
expressed their intentions to break compatibility with tv_grab_na and many 
people will not know until their EPG runs out of data.
