[mythtv-users] XMLTV/tv_grab_uk_rt b0rkeration

[Ciaran]

As I understand it, you need to have setup teh channels in advance of
perofrming the grab and fill.  I.e there needs to be a channel in
there with the XMLTV_ID of london.bbc2.bbc.co.uk in order for you to
receive schedules  for that channel.
Is this with DVB or something else ?
