[mythtv-users] "unable to parse channels.conf"

[Mary Strimel]

hi,
I am trying to set up OTA digital channels with my hdtv-5500.  Using the
"scan" utility I got about 14 channels, and mplayer is able to tune them.
However, when I attempt to import the channels, mythtv-setup reports the
error that is "unable to parse" my channels.conf file. I have tried the
following steps suggested on this list wiithout success:  verified that the
permissions on channels.conf are correct, checked that I am running mythtv
0.20.2, and removed any apparent duplcate entries from channels.conf .  Here
is what my channels.conf looks like (and mplayer seems to work fine with
it):

WFDCDT:479028615:8VSB:49:52:3
WHUTDT:587028615:8VSB:17:20:1

What am I doing wrong?

thanks,
