<pre wrap="">Hello all,
I had another session on Myth last night and got things up and running.
All recording and working very nicely. Got a few questions, so I'm going
to post them in different threads.
The first one is my channel data. I'm getting information for some
channels, but not all. Getting things like ITV1, Channel 4 and several
others. Not getting BBC1, BBC2, Channel 5.
I roughly followed this guide for setting the channel data up:

I realise that if anyone can help you'll need more information from me,
but not sure what info will be need. Can anyone help out?
Cheers
Damian

<pre wrap=""><!---->Sounds like you're not getting all the multiplexes. You might try
scanning again, might be a weather-related problem. If that doesn't
work, consider if your aerial is good enough, or that it is aligned for
best signal. If you have a signal booster lying around try inserting
that, may make some difference. (An older booster designed for analogue
may not boost all channels equally, more important for digital sources).
Until the analogue signal gets switched off digital signals are
transmitted at reduced strength, which can be a pain if you are in a
marginal area.

Just tried re-scanning. Still got the same problem.<br>

Another option is to use the dvb-utils tools to run a scan. This will
provide you with a whole bunch of diagnostic info to help you determine
what you can/cant/might only just be able to receive, and what you might
do to fix the problem.

Not had time to look at how to do this, let alone do it yet. I'll get
to it when my list of other problems gets sorted.<br>
<br>
Starting to wonder if I should have stayed with windows and had a
second rate media centre that worked rather than a better open source
option that makes the geek in me feel better about leaving Mr Gates'
trap, but just requires too much effort.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help Mike.<br>
