Hi Wim,

You could try taking a look here:

http://mythtv.info/moin.cgi/XmlTv_2fMythChannelSetup

and here:

http://mythtv.info/moin.cgi/MythFillDatabase

  - they may help you out. It sounds to me as though you need to get an 
xmltv grabber for belgium (when I was over there I used 
http://pytvgrab.sourceforge.net ) and then run mythfilldatabase manually 
to populate your channels.

Cheers,
Michelle
