You need to run tv_grab_nz-py --configure in a terminal and answer all the
questions it asks you to create its configuration file. Its not hanging,
its waiting for an answer from the keyboard but it doesn't have a terminal
(tty) attached to get that input!

mythfilldatabase should (will when correctly configured) call
tv_grab_nz-py with all the correct parameters for each of your 'sources'.
The file that tv_grab_nz-py downloads is filtered by the configuration
info you created (above) and passed into mfdb.

The config file should look something like this (this particular 'source'
is called DVBT):

$ cat /home/mythtv/.mythtv/DVBT.xmltv
channel=prime.freeviewnz.tv
channel=tv1.freeviewnz.tv
channel=tv2.freeviewnz.tv
channel=tv3.freeviewnz.tv
channel=tv3-plus1.freeviewnz.tv
channel=c4.freeviewnz.tv
channel=four.freeviewnz.tv
channel=maori-tv.freeviewnz.tv
channel!cue.freeviewnz.tv
channel=parliament.freeviewnz.tv
channel=sportextra.freeviewnz.tv
channel!stratos.freeviewnz.tv
channel=u.freeviewnz.tv
channel=tvnz7.freeviewnz.tv
channel!te-reo.freeviewnz.tv
channel=ctv8.freeviewnz.tv
channel=tvcentral.freeviewnz.tv


Hope that helps
