[mythtvnz] EIT guide problem with new MythTV Version

[Colin Fraser]

Hi Robert,

The weird thing is, if I fire up the old MythTV, then the data does get
populated...

But, if Stephen's method solves the problem, then this might be another
solution and it might not matter either way.

I will have a search in the archives tomorrow sometime and see if I can
find it, thanks :-).

Regards
Colin
