[mythtv-users] Problems filling database

[Pascal Hos]

Well, I managed to get it work. 
I defined my channels manually in myth-setup with the appropriate
xmltv id assigned. After that I could run mythfilldatabase and it
populated the program guide without a problem.
If you run your tv_grab_* and have it output to a file it will tell
you what the xmltv id is you have to use.
