<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sorry for xpost if its not approriate.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Following the recent re-shuffle of PIDs in the UK
on Freeview, I got fed up manually setting up channels.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have written a PHP script which uses dvbscan
(part of the LinuxTV tools) to dump out the channel list, and populate the
channel tables in MythTV.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It populates channel, dvb_channel, and dvb_pids
automatically.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At the moment, you have to change one line to
indicate the starting frequency for your local transmitter. LinuxTV is supplied
with a list of transmitters and their frequencies.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It uses the ServiceID as the chanID in mythtv (as I
believe these stay constant)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It also 'fixes up' the radio channels by assigning
a dummy video PID from the same MUX, so they work in MythTV.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It outputs a SQL script, which you can pipe to
mysql to do the setup.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can I contribute this to mythtv? i also wanted to
contribute my auto-archive script (which only works for DVB recordings) as well.
Is is possible to have partial CVS access for my tools? If not, I will throw
together a web page with them on.</FONT></DIV>
