[mythtv-users] mythtv-setup can't seem to pull down channel numbers properly from Zap2It

[Joe Votour]

Before I do a rebuild in debug mode and start to
actually mess with this, I figure I'll throw it out to
the list first, as perhaps somebody has seen it).

I'm using SVN 0.19.20060331-1 (not sure what number
that corresponds to), trying to setup a new master
backend, and then I'll migrate my frontend over to it
once that is done.  But, I can't get through the
mythtv-setup stage at all, in order to grab channels.

I run mythtv-setup, configure my capture cards (a
PVR-250, PVR-350 and FusionHDTV 5 Lite), and then try
to associate the input sources.  Mythtv-setup has the
darndest time grabbing data from Zap2It.  Sometimes
the channel number fetching works, sometimes it
doesn't (it never works for the ATSC listings though).

Here's what I find strange - I went in to look at the
lineups because I was getting HBO and other pay
channels in there that I don't receive - so I delete
them from the Zap2It lineup.  Then, I try to fetch the
channel listings - and they're back in the Zap2It
lineup!  Same thing happens when I remove the analog
channels from my digital lineup.

The channels get added back only after mythtv-setup
fetches the channel numbers (so it seems - I edited
the listings, waited a few minutes, and checked back
up on them through labs.zap2it.com, and they looked
fine).

Is Zap2It just broken right now?  Or is SVN broken? 
Or am I broken?  (Don't answer that last one, folks. 
;)  )

Here's what I see when I try to fetch my digital
lineup (which failed):

What I'm wondering, is why is mythtv-setup accessing
the database on "localhost"?  I explicitly set my IP
address for the database to be 192.168.1.20, the IP
address of my master backend.
