Well, if you had let mythtv-setup restart mythbackend, then it should
have worked. So, something else was going on.
Perhaps the problem may have just been that you already had listings
data (though invalid), so it wasn't downloading new data until you
eventually gave up/it had run out or something.
You can always fix that with the video sources portion of
