[mythtv-users] Rescanned OTA channels and Lost most of them

[jam at tigger.ws]

<smile honouring the top post theme>

Can anyone guide me please.

I use the EPG
I live in Perth but a scan finds multiple regional low power signals. I have edited the chan list until my listings shows the best station for each channel.
One channel does not usually get EPG data (It is HD and sometimes gets data) but it's SD sibling does normally.

A scan gets multiple new chans, some conflicting, some not. Some (undoubtably) are weak signals that I do not want ie 20km away there is a 10kw transmitter servicing a hard-to-get area.

Is there a sane escape from this mess or is it just ad-hoc fiddle till it's right?

Thanks
James
