mythfilldatabase --manual is where you specify the channel frequency.
Run mythfilldatabase --manual again, and when one of the questions asks
for "channel number (as in xatv)" and offers you the default of the tv
channel's website as a value, enter the frequency channel here.
FYI, the UK channels for me are:
BBC1 26
BBC2 33
ITV1 23
CH4 30
CH5 37
Obviously these will vary over the country, but these work in North
London OK.
If you are good with MySQL, you could manually edit the channels table
in the database to set the frequency (I think this will work!).

Hi,
I finally got mythtv actually running. I.e., I can run the mythfrontend
and see the GUI. Wow! It looks very slick and professional.
Now on to my problem...
I've gone through the Configuring Mythtv intructions. I've gotten xmltv
configured and I can go into the program guide and see shows that look
like they're right (UK shows on the channels and times I expect).
I set up the database with mythfilldatabase --manual.
But here's the problem, I can't seem to figure out how to tell mythtv
what frequency to use with my WinTV PVR-250.
I know setting PAL and Europe-west should work, but when using the ivtv
driver utilities, I have to change channels with the frequency number
because the frequencies used by Video::Frequencies don't really work.
For example, if I do ./ptune.pl -F 624000 ; cat /dev/video0 > ~/test.mpg
and then play test.mpg, I see BBC2.
So, how do I tell Mythtv that BBC2 is at 624000?
Thanks.
