Hmm... I tried that... kinda, I set the zap2it ID in mythtv-setup, not the frontend. when I ran mythfilldatabase after the ID was set, nothing got populated. I got a question:<br><br>When you mapped your tuner to the local HDTV channels, did you push on the "Retrieve Lineup from Source" (or something like that) button? If so, did you have to scan the OTA channels first (I think this is a new restriction starting with
0.20)?<br><br>- Dave<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/24/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Kevin Kuphal</b> <<a href="mailto:kuphal@dls.net">kuphal@dls.net</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
