[mythtv] Tuner issues

[Bernard Mentink]

Hi All,

I' not sure if this is a bug, or user ignorance, please forgive if the 
latter.

When I try to change channels in MythTV (using channel up/down)I get the 
following errors in backend. As far as I can tell I have set up channels 
correctly in the channel setup. Correct me if I am wrong, but I
did the following:

1. After performing the other setups I exited out and did a 
mythfilldatabase.
2. Back in setup then started filling in missing fields in channel setup.
3. XMLTV ID was filled by the database, but no channels. Is this normal?
4. I ran xawtv to find the channels that represented the XMLTV ID's and 
inserted them, is this the way to do it? I havn't found any docs on this.
5. Also what is the Frequency ID field, do I have to manually tell mythtv 
what frequency each
channel is on?
6. I suspect I may have a database fill problem with tv_grab_nz, although 
all the channel information
appears correct in EPG.

I have attached the error message and printouts of the relevent database 
fields.

LiveTV is the last thing to get going on my box, all the other plugins 
work fine
Excellent work.

Look forward to the help on this on, I have been struggling for a week....

Cheers,
Bernard Mentink

PS: My TV card is a WinFast XP2000 delux using the BT878 and I am using 
cvs of the 18th Feb
