[mythtv-users] SD - Can't retrieve channels from grabber source

[Donald J. Maddox]

I actually have firewire as my main tuner, and a pcHDTV5500 card as a 
2nd tuner.  The only way I can add channels to any of them at the moment 
is scanning (which can't work for firewire), as I cannot fetch channels 
for any source from SD.

I just found that there is an updated set of mythtv rpms available, so I 
am going to update and hope that fixes it.
