[mythtv-users] troubles with xmltv and mythfilldatabase

[Phill Edwards]

For me in Australia the channel IDs were things like 
free.Sydney.9.d1.com.au, free.Sydney.ABC.d1.com.au  - I think it therefore 
depends on who's providing your program guide data. For me it's d1.com.au.

You're going to find this heavy going, though, if you don't have a TV card - 
you really need that to verify along the way that everything's working.

Regards,
Phill
