Hi,
   So, I didn't do a full scan to get my channels in Sydney.  I manually 
entered the transport frequencies using the advanced option in MythTV, 
and then I chose the 'scan existing transports' option.  That got me 
all the frequencies.

   Once there, you should have a huge list of channels.  You then need 
to match them up with the guide data.  Firstly, which tv_grab_au are 
you using.  There are a few: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~willu/xmltv/ . 
  I'm using the d1.com.au grabber at the moment, but I'm looking at 
switching to the tvguide.org.au one once I've debugged it.

In that list, I go through, select each channel, and set XMLTV id 
appropriately, set the channel icon path, clear the visible flag on 
most of the extra channels (e.g. TEN Digital 2).

What you describe doesn't actually sound like an XMLTV grabber problem. 
  It sounds like a tuning issue.  Is that a frontend or a backend log?  
Have you got a "-v record" on your backend?

Cheers,

Will           :-}
