[mythtv-users] DVB Channel data in Sydney

[Steve Cliffe]

Ed,

The tv_grab_au script should have produced a file called "guide.xml". 
Mine has something like this in at the beginning:mail at avenuedesign.net

   <channel id="freesd.Sydney.2.d1.com.au">
     <display-name>ABC NSW</display-name>
   </channel>
   <channel id="freesd.Sydney.9.d1.com.au">
     <display-name>Channel Nine Sydney</display-name>
   </channel>

When you go into the channel editor in mythsetup make sure you put in 
the XMLTV ID for each channel. For example, "freesd.Sydney.2.d1.com.au" 
for ABC etc.

Steve.
