[mythtvnz] Error with mythfilldatabase

Wed Oct 24 21:33:34 BST 2007

All seems to be OK today thanks.. it could have been my proxy server (it's
flaky, but has been behaving lately) or something you have done.

Actually, I notice that it does seem to by-pass my proxy server... is it
easy to change that?

thanks

- David
