Description
I first attempted to set up mythtv to grab listings from my SD account using its internal grabber. After many many failures, I determined that my ISP's proxy is screwing up the auth mechanism so the wget command fails with 401 auth errors. SO I switched to the xmltv grabber (tv_grab_na_dd) since it is known to work with my "situation". After setting that all up, it works GREAT in mythtv.
BUT now every time I enter mythtv-setup and go to configure my video source, it still attempts to use the internal grabber. I see tons of 401 auth errors in the console as it tries and fails just like before. When it finally gives up (20 failures), the mythtv-setup screen comes up and it still shows that xmltv's grabber is selected! It ignores the fact that I have the internal grabber disabled, and attempts to connect every time anyway.

Sorry, I wasn't so clear on that. I switched from the internal SD grabber to the internal (mythtv's) xmltv grabber. After this change, every time I go into mythtv-setup -> video sources -> "my source", it still attempts to contact SD servers using the internal SD grabber.
As for the initial problem, I figured out how to set an http proxy (a working one, not my ISP's) for the internal SD grabber so it is working great now. This could still be an issue for someone else though, if you'd like me to try to recreate the bug, I can.

I think I understand the issue, it's loading the SD info because you have an SD account name and password defined and because it's the first, and so default, pane in the Video Source's setup so it gets loaded before we tell the UI which grabber we're using. (The UI is unfortunately contacting the server, that is why the UI stops being redrawn while loading the info.)

Did you configure the grabber in MythTV to xmltv?
If you are using MythTV to run the xmltv grabber you shouldn't have this issue. If you run xmltv externally using cron or another method, then you must set the internal grabber to "none".
FYI You will want to contact your ISP about the problem, when you don't use the internal DataDirect? grabber you generally do not run your grabber at optimal times for the servers and the download may not succeed. When I contacted my ISP about a similar problem with their squid proxy it was corrected within a day. While you are still using the external grabber try to pick a grab time some time in your daylight hours.
