[mythtv-users] tv_grab_nl & mythfilldatabse

[hpoley at dds.nl]

Busy setting up mythtv in holland, bumping into undocumented-land. Creating this 
mail to at least try to wrap my head around possible solutions. At first I 
thought the first number you enter when you run 'mythfilldatabase --manual 
--xawchannels 1 multikabel.txt' is the number you enter on your 'remote'. It's 
obviously not, but I'm not really sure what order it is now. Is this number the 
same thing as used in tv_grab_nl.config? Or is it stringmatched? If so, which 
string, the long or the short one?

So tidbits.

.xawtv, XawTV/MoTV/fbtv config file:
---
[unknown (E6)]
channel = E6
---
or
---
[VRT TV1]
#freq = 191.500
channel = E7
# + 2250MHz / 62,5 => +36
fine = +36
---

Does 'mythfilldatabase --xawchannels ..' use the order of this file? Why can't 
you bind them to a 'european style' channel number? Why doesn't mythfilldatabase 
convert the 'freq=' automaticly? Why can't mythtv just simple store this (M)Hz 
value?

tv_grab_nl.conf:
---
..
channel 12
#channel 13
..
---
or
---
channel 1 Nederland 1
channel 2 Nederland 2
channel 3 Nederland 3
channel 31 RTL 5
..
---
What does the order tell (4 = RTL 5?)? The 'channel number' is the 'id' of the 
channel on tvgids.nl, isn't it?
