[mythtv-users] Cant add channel linup on fresh installs

Ahh yes, I was confused by the sentence "I even pulled the drive out of my
current working myth 0.25 back-end and tried on that hardware
which previously worked fine, and it wont even work.".

One more thing to try, delete all of the ~/.mythtv/config.xml file for all
user accts, then rerun mythtv-setup to recreate it.  Perhaps one of the
updates is migrating blank data from the depreciated mysql.txt during the
installs?

If that doesn't work try running the following command: "mythfilldatabase
--dd-grab-all -v file,network --loglevel debug --logpath /tmp" and post the
log file somewhere (pastebin).  The log file should tell us where it's
breaking down.
