I guess their problems were solved by bug
https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/3640 and
https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7486. Mythtv 0.27 now allows one to
enter the network id in Video Soure. It appearently also works for Ziggo in
combination with a DVB-C card. Would be nice to know if it also works with
Ziggo in combination with a networked HDHR solution?

Yes, I know but I cannot configure the symbolrate.

No there is nothing useful in the logs.

I went through the trouble to install mythtv 0.26, to check whether it
would provide me different configuration options. Indeed I can confirm that
there was no option yet to enter the network id in Video Source. In input
connections I still got randomly either the option to do a Scan Type Full
Scan and select a country vs. a Scan Type Full Scan in combination with
Frequency Table, Modulation, and Scanning Range. One interesting option
available was the Scan Type import channel.conf. this would allow me to for
example define the symbolrate. This would potentially fill the mysql
database with the proper tables. The question would then be howto get this
info into my current 0.27 based mysql database? Maybe the Scan Type option
import an existing scan could enable this? Anyone who knows howto save an
existing scan and what the format should be?
