Hi, but he's on 0.27 and the backend expects to find the channels directory
under the .mythtv/channels directory of the user that runs the backend. If
they're put there, then all frontends, mythweb and the Services API will be
able to find them (as will Webfrontend in 0.28.) Nothing wrong with putting
them in /etc/channels and creating a link to that directory, it's just not
necessary.
