I must add here that there seems to be some confusion. EIT is NOT a Video Source! You must define your own Video Source - option 3, I think it is in mythtv-setup. THEN attach one or more tuners to that source.<br></blockquote><div><br><br></div><div>I certainly agree that there is some confusion but in the above I have copied the names used by mythtv backend setup. In menu option number 4, called video sources, that's where I find the EIT. So, if EIT is not a video source, I'm confused.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
Deleting the cards will NOT remove your existing channels! Only deleting ALL SOURCES will do that. A 'Source' in mythtv-speak is a means of associating channels with tuning information, and is specific to a method of reception. Thus, if you have two cards that use different hardware, you might need two sources to use them, even if they can access the same set of channels.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>In an earlier message you said: "To clear out everything, go to Sources and do "Delete all sources" NOT
"Delete all sources on this host". That should nuke all your channel
information. Then recreate the source(s) as new.
"<br><br></div><div>The menu with the options for "delete all X" and "delete all X on this host" is menu 2, capture cards (I am checking as I write). Menu 4, video sources, has only "new video source", "delete all video sources" and "EIT" (user entry), but not "delete all sources on this host".<br></div><div><br></div><div>Yesterday, in my attempt to follow your advice, I did "delete all X" in menu 2, capture cards, as that was the only one that matched your description of also having "delete all X on this host". I can now go back into menu 4 and delete all sources too, if that was the intended advice. Was it?<br></div><div><br></div><div>I have one physical card that contains two independent tuners, with two different antenna sockets plugged into the back, both coming from the satellite dish (which could feed up to 4).

EIT is a provider of program schedule data, just like xmltv and schedules-direct in the US.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I understand this.

Some of the words we use can be confusing, like 'source' and 'channel'. The differences only become apparent with experience, I'm afraid.<span class=""><font color="#888888"></font></span></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I certainly subscribe to that.<br></div><div> <br></div><div>It is also not clear how to ensure that one channel scan will apply to both "cards" (= both halves of my card).
