[mythtv-users] BUG: xmltv? Channot change channel / Bad Data

[John Rives]

Dennis,

I went through this for a few days on my test platform - I solved the
problem by downgrading my XMLTV to 0.5.10-20. My channels were showing up
with the CXyyy format before, now they are showing up as regular numbers.
Good luck with it :)
