[mythtv-users] Confused on how to use channels.conf

[Michelle Dupuis]

I have my DVB-S card driver working, and scandvb finds the satellite and
lists a bunch of channels!! YAY! (This is a thrill for me, as I didn't think
I would get this far)

I used scandvb to create a channels.conf file whose contents looks like this
(cut off after the first five lines):
HSTDv:12224:h:1:20000:4642:4644:84
CPACF:12224:h:1:20000:5666:5668:149
NEWS1:12224:h:1:20000:6434:6435:196
A-LON:12224:h:1:20000:4130:4131:220

I then went to myth's back-end setup, where I have setup the dvb-s card and
the video source. I then created a new input and tried to scan the
satellite. I told myth to use the channels.conf I created, but then Myth
just times out while scanning (can't get a lock) - and signal strength is
0%.

I'm guessing that either my channels.conf is not the right format (why is
myth asking about 5_1 or similar names), or I'm doing something stupid. Can
someone tell me how to take this next step?  (RTFM is also appreciated if
you can point me to the right section)

Thanks,
Michelle
