<br><br>The problem is one I've encountered before. I hit it again because I re-installed my machine from scratch. I don't know how it's supposed to work but when I come to run mythtv-setup it checks for xmltv grabbers installed, finds them and asks me which I want to use, so I choose the UK RT one. It then goes off and creates channels based on that. However I aborted that part way through, because I wanted to create my channels via scanning - which I do. Now I've got two sets of channels one which tunes ok but with no xmltvids (from the scanner) and one which have xmltvids but which can't tune.
<br><br>To fix this I used mythweb (cos it's easier) and update the xmltvids of the tuneable channels based on the others (and the chanids file). I also made a few other alterations (make some channels not visible, set use on air for radio channels, change a few callsigns to make them display better)
<br><br>Is this the way it's supposed to work? I'm sure I wasn't supposed to quit out of the xmltv set up bit but still I can't see where it marries up the grabber information with the tuning information (it hasn't got any has it?) so that I don't get two sets of channels.
