Runs fine as far as I can tell...

Hmmmm, looks like mythtv-setup is timing out before tv_find_grabbers
completes hence doesn't present any of them as an option.  Running on
an Acer Revo and the poor little fella is just too slow.  I got rid of
all the other grabbers in /usr/bin and I can now select the NZ grabber
in mythtv-setup.

Is there any way to configure it to ignore some grabbers (rather than
deleting stuff willy-nilly from /usr/bin)?

Unfortunately I'm still not getting guide data into myth successfully
but I'll start another thread if necessary.

Thanks for the help.
