I also noticed that channels.dat went missing yesterday but like you say, it's 
back now.  However, I'm still not having any luck using the tv_grab_uk_rt 
script.  

When I run mythfilldatabase using my existing configuration file (that was 
working fine up until Saturday), the command finishes in a couple of seconds 
and no data is retrieved.

I've tried using the '--list-channels' argument to tv_grab_uk_rt and get an 
empty list.  I've got xmltv 0.5.39-2 installed on debian sarge.  Is this 
related to my upgrading to 0.19 over the weekend or just a coincidence ?

Cheers,
Andrew
