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

[Joseph Fry]

>   I have built multiple mythbuntu installs over the past week and for
>>>>>>>>>> some reason none of them will allow me to download my channel lineup from
>>>>>>>>>> schedules direct. I have tried on 0.25, 0.25 + fixes, and 0.26. I have

>>>>>>>>>> of my current working myth 0.25 back-end and tried on that hardware
>>>>>>>>>> which previously worked fine, and it wont even work.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>> So wait a second... your trying to tell me that a working install
>>>>>>>>> failed with just a hardware change... that makes no sense.  I suspect that

>>>>>>>>> Are you using DHCP?  Is there anything unique about it's

>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>> If your using manual IP's, did  you set dns servers in resolv.conf?
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>> Actually I have even tried a fresh install on the exact same

>>>>>>>> My network is DHCP, nothing unique. Same dhcp networt that I used a

>>>>>>> I, and several others, had the same problem upon installing and
>>>>>>> updating mythbuntu 12.04... but a reboot resolved it.  I suspected that

>>>>>>> What really gets me is that a working install doesn't work when

Unfortunately I don't see any resolution.
