The first run after setup is expected to take long. I don't
know what "hours" above means. It it was 2, then I'd wait
longer. Especially if you've got lots of channels.
>From another terminal window, you could look in /tmp. A file
named something like mythXXXXXX should exist. If the grabber
is working, then the file will be growing in size.
Or, you could type: tail -f /tmp/mythXXXXXX and watch the
data come in. XXXXXX will change each time the grabber is run
(and is unlikely to ever be XXXXXX).
