I don't see anything odd there either.  Hmm.

So the only problem your seeing is when the system is retrieving lineups in
mythtv-setup?  Here are a few things you might try:

Change your username.
Change your password.
Delete and recreate lineups.
Create a 'fake' lineup with a different source (say antenna rather than
cable or vice versa).

I suspect that it is something related to the above, because you can see
that mythfilldatabase is having no trouble grabbing the data.
