[mythtv-users] [Australian Program Guide Listings - FoxtelMissing]

[Joshua King]

I'm not using this script, so...
The variable $#pidsrowspansnames just mean (in Perl) "the number of elements
in the array $pidsrowspansnames", so you need to look at the previous bit of
code which sets the $pidsrowspansnames variable, possibly a subroutine
returning undefined/null. Probably an error condition relating to the lack
of data everyone is experiencing *again*.
