Of course, and locate only finds one <name>/xmltv on my entire system 
which is in the home of the mythtv's user. No problem there. The file 
exists, it's just empty.

I'm not sure about that, but what could it have done? I chose the 
tv_grab_nl (after making a symbolic link from tv_grab_nl_wolf because 
its MUCH faster than tv_grab_nl).  Should the script have an option to 
make that list? Or does the setup make it?

I didn't run "mythfilldatabase -manual" but I don't think that has 
anything to do with it?
(why didn't I run it? I just didn't like the interface much so I did the 
same work using mysqlcc directly in the database)

Not yet, but thanks anyway :-)
