Cannot configure XMLTV from mythtv-setup when running outside a terminal

[Jo Shields]

Binary package hint: mythtv

If you run mythtv-setup from the System/Administration/MythTV Backend Setup menu option, it is not possible to configure an XMLTV channel lineup - because this configuration is done in the parent terminal to the mythtv-setup session, and when launched from the menu there is no parent terminal, then the channel lineup is simply skipped and left blank.

I'd suggest either launching a new terminal to do the config (rather than using the parent terminal) or modifying the mythtv-setup script to run mythtv-setup.real inside a terminal
