Have a look at what wget is trying to fetch. Simply ignore this
kind of error.

Why did you specify '0' as the sourceid? Have another look at the
docs. Err, doesn't seem to be mentioned :-(. Account that to the 
fact that mythtv's main developer sits in the US where all
channel information is part of the xmltv file. So he doesn't care much
about us europeans. ;)

If your tuner card is setup correctly you should call it: 

      mythfilldatabase --manual --preset --xawchannels 1 .xawtv

I set up my channels 'long' time ago (was a bit messier back then), where
mythfilldatabase didn't had all the options it has today.
So to be on the save side i'd recommend to use --manual.
See mythfilldatabase --help for what these options are.

Nothing it seems.
