Excellent work indeed! Modified for KnoppMyth:

1. Register at labs.zap2it.com using code 'TGYM-ZKOC-BUTV' (Letter O, not zero)

2. Record your new username and password and choose the proper lineup and channels.

3. tv_grab_na_dd --configure(answer the questions)

4. su(enter your root password)

5. mv /etc/cron.daily/mythtv-backend ~

6. mythbackup

7. exit

8. Determine your sourceid(s) using webmin or

Code:

mysql -u mythtv -pq2dUSRDq mythconverg
mysql> select * from videosource; 

9. quit

10. Using one of the scripts in Ashlar's original post. Save it in /usr/local/bin/ as mythtv-backend

11. crontab -e

Code:

0 6 * * * /usr/local/bin/mythtv-backend

12. /usr/local/bin/mythtv-backend

Thanks again to Ashlar for the original post on the forum.

Post subject:	Missing Channel Listing/Information
After having my myth box up and running for a couple months now I am experiencing my first problem. That's not bad at all.... Anyway, here is my problem. For some reason, when I bring up a channel listing, all the channel numbers are listed on the left hand side but all the detail data about the channels says "Unknown". Why is this data missing? I can see my previously recorded listings fine. I am also able to access the internet from that machine. I tried to do a mythfilldatabase --update but got the following messages: brian@mythtv:~/.mythtv $ mythfilldatabase --update QTime::setHMS Invalid time 28:00:00.000 QDate::setYMD: Invalid date 2935-93-02 Refreshing Tomorrow's data ----------------- Start of XMLTV output ----------------- using config file /home/brian/.mythtv/cable.xmltv /usr/bin/tv_grab_na: Config file /home/brian/.mythtv/cable.xmltv does not exist, run me with --configure ------------------ End of XMLTV output ------------------ Error in 1:1: unexpected end of file Fetching data for Mon May 31 2004 ----------------- Start of XMLTV output ----------------- using config file /home/brian/.mythtv/cable.xmltv /usr/bin/tv_grab_na: Config file /home/brian/.mythtv/cable.xmltv does not exist, run me with --configure ------------------ End of XMLTV output ------------------ Error in 1:1: unexpected end of file Fetching data for Tue Jun 1 2004 ----------------- Start of XMLTV output ----------------- using config file /home/brian/.mythtv/cable.xmltv /usr/bin/tv_grab_na: Config file /home/brian/.mythtv/cable.xmltv does not exist, run me with --configure ------------------ End of XMLTV output ------------------ Error in 1:1: unexpected end of file Fetching data for Wed Jun 2 2004 ----------------- Start of XMLTV output ----------------- using config file /home/brian/.mythtv/cable.xmltv /usr/bin/tv_grab_na: Config file /home/brian/.mythtv/cable.xmltv does not exist, run me with --configure ------------------ End of XMLTV output ------------------ Error in 1:1: unexpected end of file Fetching data for Thu Jun 3 2004 ----------------- Start of XMLTV output ----------------- using config file /home/brian/.mythtv/cable.xmltv /usr/bin/tv_grab_na: Config file /home/brian/.mythtv/cable.xmltv does not exist, run me with --configure ------------------ End of XMLTV output ------------------ Error in 1:1: unexpected end of file Fetching data for Fri Jun 4 2004 ----------------- Start of XMLTV output ----------------- using config file /home/brian/.mythtv/cable.xmltv /usr/bin/tv_grab_na: Config file /home/brian/.mythtv/cable.xmltv does not exist, run me with --configure ------------------ End of XMLTV output ------------------ Error in 1:1: unexpected end of file Fetching data for Sat Jun 5 2004 ----------------- Start of XMLTV output ----------------- using config file /home/brian/.mythtv/cable.xmltv /usr/bin/tv_grab_na: Config file /home/brian/.mythtv/cable.xmltv does not exist, run me with --configure ------------------ End of XMLTV output ------------------ Error in 1:1: unexpected end of file Fetching data for Sun Jun 6 2004 ----------------- Start of XMLTV output ----------------- using config file /home/brian/.mythtv/cable.xmltv /usr/bin/tv_grab_na: Config file /home/brian/.mythtv/cable.xmltv does not exist, run me with --configure ------------------ End of XMLTV output ------------------ Error in 1:1: unexpected end of file Fetching data for Mon Jun 7 2004 ----------------- Start of XMLTV output ----------------- using config file /home/brian/.mythtv/cable.xmltv /usr/bin/tv_grab_na: Config file /home/brian/.mythtv/cable.xmltv does not exist, run me with --configure ------------------ End of XMLTV output ------------------ Error in 1:1: unexpected end of file Fetching data for Tue Jun 8 2004 ----------------- Start of XMLTV output ----------------- using config file /home/brian/.mythtv/cable.xmltv /usr/bin/tv_grab_na: Config file /home/brian/.mythtv/cable.xmltv does not exist, run me with --configure ------------------ End of XMLTV output ------------------ Error in 1:1: unexpected end of file QTime::setHMS Invalid time 28:00:00.000 QDate::setYMD: Invalid date 2935-93-02 Failed to fetch some program info I went and looked for /home/brian/.mythtv/cable.xmltv but it is indeed not there. Why would this file all of a sudden disappear? What should I do to get my channel listings back? Thanks in advance for any information. -Brian

Ok, I have spent the last 5 hours working on this issue. Thank you cesman for pointing me in the right direction. I have followed the bellow instructions to a T and continue to get the infamous "Unknown" message in the program guide. There were no problems when I followed the steps below... Any idea what I may be missing? Thanks cesman wrote: Excellent work indeed! Modified for KnoppMyth: 1. Register at labs.zap2it.com using code 'TGYM-ZKOC-BUTV' (Letter O, not zero) 2.

BTW, I just connected to my mythconverg database and looked inside of the "program" table and discovered that the table is empty... Why didn't the table get updated when the "mythtv-backend " script ran? Thanks. -Brian
