[mythtv-users] Myth not scanning KTVU and KPIX anymore in San Jose CA

[Praveen Shenoy]

Late last night I ran into the scte65scan twiki and tried the steps in  
there to grab the VCT_ID but could not find anything close to that on  
the "Current Channel Status" screen. I have a motorola dct22xx. Any  
tips on finding that we very helpful. I also wanted to try the  
scte65scan itself but did not have cc installed on the box, so could  
not compile. I am planning to give that a shot tonight. I don't  
believe the channels are different in different zip codes in san jose.  
Also, I see that you have KTVU and KPIX instead of KTVUDT and KPIXDT.  
I don't understand much about this, but if I look at the schedules  
direct report, they have different logical channel numbers. KTVU is at  
2 and KTVUDT at 702 and from what I see, KTVU used to be the analog  
channel and KTVUDT is for the digital channel. Does that sound right?

Do you think, I could use your scte65scan output sql you generated on  
my myth?

Thanks
Praveen
