[mythtv-users] 0.20, mythtv-setup not getting all channels

Sorry about the confusion. The lineups (Local antenna and 4DTV) are
correct on the Zap2it side, and the antenna input connection is correct
on the Myth side, but the svideo (4DTV) input is missing almost all the
channels.

Starting with an empty database, I ran mythtv-setup, went through the
General settings. For capture cards, I defined one: the PVR-250, and set
its default input to be svideo0.

Then, in video sources, I defined 2: Antenna, and 4DTV. For Antenna, I
set it up for DataDirect, clicked on "Retrieve Lineups", and selected
the "Local Broadcast" lineup I've got on Zap2it. Next, I defined the
4DTV source, set it up for DataDirect, and this time selected the 4DTV
lineup from Zap2it.

Finally, I set up 2 Input connections. I set up Tuner0 to use video
source Antenna. At this point, there are two buttons, "scan for
channels", and "Fetch channels from lineup". Below those buttons is a
box for you to select the starting channel, which at first says "Please
add channels".

For the Tuner0/Antenna input, I pressed the Fetch button, and after a
moment the "starting channel" box lists all the channels from the local
broadcast lineup. All this is correct for this input, the antenna. It is
listing all the local channels from the lineup correctly.

Then I set up the SVideo0/4DTV input. I set up svideo0 to use the 4DTV
video source. Once again, I press Fetch. Here is where things start to
go wrong. After a moment, the "starting channel" box goes from "please
add channels" to one of the satellite channels from the lineup.
Scrolling through the list reveals that only 10 or so out of around 200
satellite channels are present to choose from.

Ignoring this for the moment, I exit mythtv-setup and run
mythfilldatabase --do-channel-updates, hoping that this will pick up the
channels that mythtv-setup failed to get on the 4DTV input.
I had the output of mfdb going to a file, and I looked through this for
error messages or "not adding channel". Everything looked fine.

But, when I went back in mythtv-setup, and checked the channel editor,
all the antenna channels were there as expected, but only 13 of the
satellite channels were present. For whatever reason, mythtv-setup and
mfdb are not downloading all of the satellite channels from the
Datadirect lineup.

What am I missing here? Did something change from v18 to v20 when it
comes to setting up inputs for external receivers (4DTV)?
