[mythtv-users] Mythfilldatabase Problem

[James Ronald]

I just ran into something like this and here's what ended up working for me. 
Run mythtv-setup and look to see if there are channels that say unassigned. 
If there are exit mythtv-setup and run it again this time answering yes to 
"delete my channel settings".  You will also need to setup your video 
sources and input connection again.  After this, at least in my case, 
mythfilldatabase then worked.  Also, the 401 error on the first attempt 
seems to be normal.
