Go into the channel editor and make sure you have valid UK channel
numbers for the 5 channels you have defined (i.e. between 20-69). E6
is I think a European channel number, which is why you are getting the
error messages. I assume since you are getting some video, you
currently have the Tuner0 configured against a video source (analog TV
channels?)

If you make sure you have the correct XMLTVIDs for each channel, you
should be able to get listings too.
