[mythtv] Problems importing channels.conf

[benny.renkens at gmail.com]

Issue solved for me... Actually, when I fill in the correct channels.conf  
path & name the pop-up changes from "Failed to open: %1" to "Failed to  
parse: %1". This indicates that there's nothing wrong with finding the  
file. So I browsed the net for some other format of channels.conf.  
Unfortunately I couldn't find one containing the dutch broadcasting  
channels. (Other than in the format which I already have) But I saw that  
the importing succeeds then...

To get channels in mythtv I thought I would try my luck with the "Full  
Scan" option. (Half a year ago this defnitely did not work with DVB-S2  
cards) After messing around with the parameters for a while it worked.  
(After I filled in the frequency szap-s2 was using to tune into channels)  
So no need to import channels.conf anymore.

Still the question remains... Why can't mythtv import the channels.conf  
format which is produced by scan-s2?
