See: http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-9.html "Once you have chosen your provider, press RETURN to continue. XMLTV will now begin collecting the initial data for your location. The screen may blank for a few seconds to several minutes, depending on the load of the listings provider and the speed of your connection to the Internet. Be patient!" > 3.
