[mythtv-users] Problem with mythfilldatabase & tv_grab_na

[Joe Schmidt]

I've recently built a Gentoo distribution on a new system, and so far, 
so good. I've installed all of the pre-requisites to MythTV, and I've 
used the portage file to install MythTV itself. Since the Gentoo version 
of xmltv is one minor release too low (and I worried that might be the 
cause of my problem), I built it myself. The same problem comes up 
whether I use the MythTV setup or tv_grab_na --configure  (I live in 
Eastern United States).

After answering the first three questions, after I enter my zip code, I 
receive the following messages:

getting list of providers for postal/zip code 07103, be patient...
zap2it top level web page doesn't have a zipcode form

When I run mythfilldatabase, I receive several errors, stating that two 
config files don't exist. Here are the errors:

/usr/bin/tv_grab_na: Config file (myhomedir)/.mythtv/.xmltv does not 
exist, run me with --configure
/usr/bin/tv_grab_na: Config file /root/.mythtv/Cable.xmltv does not 
exist, run me with --configure

I suspect that the zap2it error prevents the config file from ever being 
generated. I tried to search the archives for a similar problem, but was 
unable to find anything. I'd appreciate any suggestions on how I could 
remedy this.

Thanks,

Joe
