[mythtvnz] Hi & mplayer works but mythtv gives static?

[Simon Third]

Thanks guys, any input you can give would be helpful.

I'm in Christchurch, and have been able to tune TV1,2,3,C4 Prime with
mplayer.  Mythtv-setup seemed to do the job for me and my last
mythfilldatabase ran without error, so I was expecting success (Even
seems to be displaying the right info on the mythtv screen).  But
no!...?

Steve, I would like to look at/try your script.

My receiver is USB type SMK with two output lines.

Simon

Ok are you in Auckland or another area?

I can provide you with a SQL script that will define all of the standard
Auckland TV Channels if you are interested.
