After running mythsetup you then run mythfilldatabase. You should see
it logging into Zap2It and getting the channel data for the next 2
weeks. Is this working for you?

When I hit the up arrow I do get a new channel. I can also just type
in a channel number and jump that way. I see no mention in the
mythbackend.log file that much happened. THere are a coupl eof lines
but they aren't very interesting and I doubt thay had anything to do
with this at all. More likely when I started the frontend on my PC.
