Thanks for replying.

The current Firefox (57.0 - Ubuntu) gave me just an 'unable to connect' 
page; not sure what Firefox displays a 401, etc., with the new version.

I've been semi-trying to look for that file, hopefully with a clue from 
Google search.  Now will have to try harder!

So far we know something broke here with an upgrade I did around 
November 10th but hasn't been fixed with a subsequent update/upgrade 
function.

It (Schedules Direct) displayed a very long listing of which I scanned 
recognized a couple local stations and TV listings so appears that is 
working correctly.  I also logged in automatically and manually to make 
sure the username and password hadn't been altered from my notes.

Did see this at the top of the page:


          Warning:

      * Unable to fetch SD-JSON lineups


        Report a Lineup Problem

but I think that is more of a general announcement than to me 
specifically.  OTOH might be a clue.

Above is via mythtv-setup -- will have to do that after the soaps record 
-- and I don't watch but.....  (So will get back on that later this 
afternoon.)  Have checked one or two sources prior and the user name is 
correct, password is hidden but typed in manually and appears to be the 
same length.  There is an issue where a few entries from the bottom of 
that page the "pc:52722" blanks after the password updating.  The field 
has to do with SchedulesDirect and should be an auto-fill by them.

Will upload this and continue after the soaps.

Thanks for the tips!

Barry
