I was pushing the "OK" from the remote - same action as "i"/Enter/Space.

It is odd. When I schedule the channel, it says "Channel: Any". When I
pull it up from Set Priorities (so it's getting saved somewhere), I
get the airdate, channel, program name, etc. However, it never shows
up in list of Upcoming Shows/Recordings...

I've noticed that...   :-(

No, I've never managed to schedule anything.  Even if I manually plug
in times and channels.

But, I did have an error in the logs relating to the database -

2004-12-21 14:43:22 CheckChannel failed. Please verify channel "1" in
the "setup" Channel Editor.
<etc etc etc>
2004-12-21 14:43:22 Error, couldn't find any available channels.
2004-12-21 14:43:22 Your database is most likely setup incorrectly.

After some grubbing around, I saw others had mentioned mythtvsetup. I
went to look and in section 5 ("Channels" IIRC), I had two connections
setup. One was blank (I had troubles) the other didn't appear to have
an id/pw set. I deleted both, re-created the correct entry, re-did the
mythfilldatabase and re-started mythbackend. When it started up, it
scheduled Americas Funniest Home Videos. (Well, it was better than
soap operas!!)

I bet I'm in the first video...

Thanks!

Oh yeah - WORKSFORMENOW.  :-)
