[mythtv-users] Re: Need to adjust channel listings ATSC nn_n vs nnnn

[Brian McEntire]

Just found the answer, verified it worked for me. Posting here for the 
benefit of others that may search this list:

"For each channel, after you scan for channels, you should have two channels 
in the Channel Editor screen... one that was downloaded from Zap2It, and one 
that was scanned by the DVB scan. The Zap2It one will have the XMLTVID, the 
one that was scanned won't. Copy or write down the XMLTVID from the Zap2It 
channel and enter it into the XMLTVID field for the DVB channel. Once you do 
this (and restart the backend) the scanned channel will have programs listed 
in the Program Guide, just like the Zap2It channel (since it now has the 
same XMLTVID). "

Found the above suggestion in this forum:
