</div>Further to my original post, I have since managed to get a channels.conf<br>
that was acceptable (39 channels) and have then proceeded to try<br>
importing this into Mythtv.<br>
<br>
Whilst this is successful, Myth yet again cannot import just the<br>
channels that I wish to have and takes the frequencies present in the<br>
channels.conf, parses the NIT data and begins scanning again --<br>
providing me with numbering prompts for 100's of channels, which is<br>
utterly useless.<br>
<br>
How has anyone else done this without going utterly insane? I'm tempted<br>
to write a script to parse a channels.conf and just insert the correct<br>
database rows into the 'channel' table, but I'm still surprised that<br>
there is no option to do this in Myth itself.<br></blockquote><div><br>IIRC there are two places to scan from, input connections and channel editor. Which are you using (sorry to be a bit vague, the dvb-s cards are at home, I am not.)<br>
<br>I have always just done it from input connections, and specified the frequency of the mux, then scanned just that mux. As I only have two muxes I am interested in it takes no time to sort. <br></div></div>
