[mythtv-users] questions on scte65scan and mySQL

[Ben Kamen]

So I've done my scanning and I'm getting ready to plug this .SQL output into my myth database, but before I do, I still have some questions about what's about to happen..

First, a little info:
I have 3 cards in my system. a PVR-350, pcHDTV-3000 and pcHDTV-5500

When scanning, I'm setting source-id to 2.

I'm not absolutely sure, but I think that I have my PVR-350 set up as tuner1 and
my PCHDTV-5500 set up as Tuner 3,4 with the pcHDTV-3000 set up at tuner 4,5.

Is that what the sourceID is for?

So I look at the SQL file and I see all those channels set for 2000+channel#

I also see a(useless??) channel for the dta_cdl (that's what it's called) on channel 3001. I'm assuming I can delete that line completely?

I also have a schedulesdirect subscription and a "comcast_digital" channel line up set to go.

now my questions are:

* how does this importation interact with my channel numbering for my analog input?
* Does it interfere with my analog source listings for analog?

If the answer is: the sql imports into the digital_cable source (which BTW is also second in my sources config) then I don't need to worry about my second digital card (which is a total of 4 recording channels due to my demux setting is "2")...


The last item is:

Comcast is re-broacasting local OTA channels in HD. They're including the PSIP tables.
scte65scan lists them at the end of the text version as 8VSB (not QAM256) like so:

PSIP channels

223.1     WBUI  567000000hz QAM_256      8


(note the QAM and 8VSB versions of each)

How does that roll into all this?

When I see things that make me wonder, I then worry about injecting this into my Myth database and mucking stuff (even though I have a backup.)

Thanks,
