This could be also related to me not being able to use
mythfilldatabase. I tried using scan channels and removed them and
tried using fetch channels. Neither worked
I have to use the following script to update my guide:
tv_grab_na_dd > guide
cat guide | sed
's/http:\/\/labs.zap2it.com/http:\/\/joelabs.zap2it.com/' > guide1
mythfilldatabase --file 1 -1 /capture/guides/guide1
rm /capture/guides/guide
I have directway and I am sure this is the problem! I have trouble
connecting to many sites because of Directway and or a configuration
issue on my end.
I will try the
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/261302#261302
link again at random times currently directway is preventing me from
connecting to it. :(
