</div> This drove me nuts for a few days too when setting up my box. What I found<br>
was that you had clear out all the channel data in myth, then do an initial scan<br>
to finds channels and frequency data from the cards. Note down the channel name<br>
and channel number.<br>
<br>
Then run mythfilldatabase in manual mode (so mythfilldatabase --manual --file<br>
1 <xml file of channel data>) - you should only need to do this once as the<br>
initial setup. Manual mode will then work through the channels and ask which<br>
xmltvid is to be associated with it. This should then correctly associate the<br>
channel number with the xmltvid and in the future just a mythfilldatabase --file<br>
is needed.<br>
<br>
If you don't do the first manual update that the mythfilldatabase command<br>
does what it considers to be sensible defaults and creates channels to associate<br>
the xmltvid to. Naturally these new channels have no tuning data... It helps to<br>
be doing this via a VNC connection so that you can have a notepad application<br>
handy to write channel names, numbers and xmltvids down in to make sure you get<br>
them all straight.<br>
<br>
At least that is how I remember getting it to go here. I am using Reven's<br>
xmlTVNZ.exe to do the scrapping directly from my myth box so my setup is a<br>
little different from those using the pre-filtered guide data.<br>
