I deleted my pcHDTV 3000 card through mythtv-setup and recreated it.
Next I scanned for OTA channels and found the ones I expect. Finally I
ran mythfilldatabase to grab the guide data from my lineup at zap2it.
However I have no data.
Recalling from posts on this list and my own experience a couple of
years ago when I set this up the first time, I checked the channel table
in the mythconverg database. The xmltvid field is blank for my digital
OTA channels. OK, this is likely the problem.
It seems that the way I found this data before was to log on to zap2it
with a web browser and mouse over the channels to retrieve the xmltvid
info. Then I updated the channel table to reflect this and everything
worked. But in trying that now, mousing over does nothing. Is this
still the process I need to follow to get guide data?
I've Googled but either can't come up with the right search terms or am
blind. Can someone please kick me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Drew
