Same reult here on a fresh install.

The config file lives in (if you are using *buntu)

~mythtv/.mythtv/XXXX.xmltv

where XXXX is the name of your video source, so mine is

~mythtv/.mythtv/FreeviewHD.xmltv

Unfortunately I don't have a sample right now and cannot recall the
exact format, but essentially it s series of lines of text, one for
each channel like:

channel=tv1.freeviewnz.tv
channel!chinesetv.freeviewnz.tv

Where = signifies you want that data, ! signifies that you don't.
However, as I say I am not sure that is the exact syntax until I get
home and look at the file there.
