[mythtv-users] Help with channel setup in the UK.

[Andrew Ingram]

That place I mentioned is the only place you need to put the frequency
in. I found those frequencies by using the Hauppage windows software and
letting it do a frequency scan. It found all 5 channels, and I noted
them down as listed below. I've not used xawtv at all for arranging the
frequencies.

Just FYI, here is my MySQL mythconverg.channels table (as a mysqldump).
This is really all the data there is when setting up a channel:

INSERT INTO channel VALUES (1,'26',1,'BBC1','BBC1
(London)','/root/.mythtv/channels/logo-713.gif',0,NULL,'london.bbc1.bbc.
co.uk',32768,32768,32768);
INSERT INTO channel VALUES (2,'33',1,'BBC2','BBC2
(London)','/root/.mythtv/channels/logo-724.gif',0,NULL,'london.bbc2.bbc.
co.uk',32768,32768,32768);
INSERT INTO channel VALUES (3,'23',1,'ITV1','ITV1 (ITV1
London)','/root/.mythtv/channels/logo-49.gif',0,NULL,'carlton.com',32768
,32768,32768);
INSERT INTO channel VALUES (4,'30',1,'CH4','Channel
4','/root/.mythtv/channels/logo-53.gif',0,NULL,'channel4.com',32768,3276
8,32768);
INSERT INTO channel VALUES
(5,'37',1,'CH5','five','/root/.mythtv/channels/logo-54.gif',0,NULL,'chan
nel5.co.uk',32768,32768,32768);

You can see the frequency in the second row (channum).

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunatly, that didn't work.

I think there is a mis-match between what Mythtv and xawtv think the 
channel frequencies are and what they actually are.

For example, if I plug the cable into the TV set. BBC1 shows up on 
"channel 57". However, if I put "57" into xawtv of when running 
mythfilldatabase --manual, all I get is snow.

Using the ivtv driver utility ptune.pl, I can tune BBC 1 by using the 
frequeny directly: 608000. I.e., ptune.pl -F 608000

So, where can I tell mythtv that "channel number 57" should be frequency

"608000"?

Thanks.
