I'm new to WebGrab++, but I almost have it working...
I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 with MythTV backend. when I run mythfilldatabase I get these (or similar) errors:
2016-02-25 08:25:27.841010 N Unknown xmltv channel identifier: Justice - Skipping channel.

I'm using tv.com as the EPG source.
I've attempted to swap everything I can think of in the webgrab++.config.xml. I've tried the xmltv numerical id, the callsign of the channel, then name imported as... I just don't know where I'm going wrong. The current names I'm using for the xmltv_id is the call sign detected when I scan for channels in mythtv-setup.
I've been hesitant to edit the myth database thus far.
Here is my current webgrab++.config.xml :
