OK, Wait, Between steps 5 and 7, there is a step 6. 6. Run mythfilldatabase to populate the program information.
Then step 10 is not strictly necessary. To be honest, I am not sure how/why this works, but I am confident this is what I did. I thought that mythtv setup would try and use "tv_grab_au --list-channels" or something to populate the database with xmltv id's, but this cant be the case as tv_grab_au does not support --list-channels. It seems to have done everything the first time that mythfilldatabase is run. Can anyone shed some light on this??
