Hi guys

I've only just joined the list so I appologise if the question has been 
asked before, I'm running gentoo and have got mythtv installed. I am 
running mythsetup and going through the 5 steps in the graphical wizard. 
The problem I am having is in step 3 Video Sources.

I have added an entry called UK with XMLTV Listings grabber United 
Kingdom (also tried the alternative one).
Channel frequency table is set to default (also tried western europe).

When I hit enter I get the following error message:

"MythTV was unbale to retrieve channel information for your provider, 
Please check the terminal window for more information."

In the terminal window I get:

> 2004-03-08 16:53:49 Please wait while MythTV retrieves the list of 
> available channels
> Parameterless "use IO" deprecated at 
> /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.2/XML/Writer.pm line 16

> If this is the master backend server:

I guess I missed a step somewhere along the way and am a bit confused as 
to what to try. If anyone can help at all then I would appreciate your time.

Thanks in advance.
