[mythtv-users] UK DVB-S Channel Numbering

[Chris Lewis]

Sounds excellent.  I've never got XML TV working reliably so have never
used it and just had a 7 day guide with EIT.

Would you mind if I ask how you plan on keeping up with all the frequency
changes etc that happen on dvb-s.  The dvb-t stuff should settle down a lot
once digital switchover is complete but my experience is that the satellite
stuff is fairly fluid.

And tell me to piss off if you like but any idea when you may release the
first version?
