Another issue is that your digital channels with XMLTVIDs are not
actually tuneable - in your pastebin all channels with a valid ID /do
not/ have a serviceid, which means they are not tuneable in MythTV.
Irrespective of whether you are using EIT data, digital channels need
to be tuneable to be able to record from them.
Ideally you should see something like this:
callsign serviceid sourceid xmltvid
BBC ONE 4161 2 west.bbc1.bbc.co.uk
BBC TWO 4287 2 bbc2.bbc.co.uk
There should only be one copy of each channel on each video source -
you appear to have two copies, each with different callsigns. One set
of channels has valid serviceids, the other set valid XMLTV IDs. You
need one set of channels with both!
How did you associate XMLTV IDs with your scanned channels and
generate the 5 letter callsigns?
Cheers,
Nick
