[mythtv-users] Re: Channel 7/SBS AU, Can't Tune DVB-T, What the FEC?

So I took a look at the DB and the way the channel table keys into the
dtv_multiplex table and while it seems like I could update using some
SQL, I am a bit against the idea given I a not too sure what the other
values should be for channel 7 and SBS.

Has anybody else had trouble with needing to swap the FEC values or
having to enter the PIDS manually?  It would be good if, while there
is a scanner to automate the work for you, you could still manually
override the values using the legacy myth ui.

Comment, help :|
