Cannot retrieve lineups in mythtv-setup

[Mike Rice <mikerice1969@…>]

Process gets as far as grabbing data from datadirect to /tmp/crap (yes I love that name) but fails in DataDirectProcessor::GrabData? because inputfile is empty. I "fixed" with the change below. That allows me to continue but may not be the best way to fix it of course.

This patch works for me (although I am in no position to say that this patch is most correct). I also had to rm -rf /tmp/crap as that directory existed and the gz extraction failed.

without this patch, myth will run out of upcoming data, and it will stop recording stuff.

Gavin mentioned he was going to look into this.

This should now be fixed. Committed in 77616baec432 on master.
