Alan, your not an idiot as its not obvious and is surprisingly poorly
documented on the web.

Here is a dump from my database of channel 1 and 2 with 150 and dvb =
card...

chanid, channum, freqid, sourceid, callsign, name, icon, finetune,
videofilters, xmltvid, recpriority, contrast, brightness, colour, hue,
tvformat, commfree, visible, outputfilters, useonairguide, mplexid,
serviceid, atscsrcid
5036, '2', '2', 4, 'TV2', 'TV2', '', , '', '02', 0, 32768, 32768, 32768,
32768, 'Default', 0, 1, '', 0, 1, 1036, 0
5035, '1', '1', 4, 'TV1', 'TV1', '', , '', '01', 0, 32768, 32768, 32768,
32768, 'Default', 0, 1, '', 0, 1, 1035, 0
1, '1', '1', 5, 'TV1', 'TV1', '/root/.mythtv/channels/TV1.jpeg', , '', =
'01',
0, 32768, 32768, 32768, 32768, 'Default', 0, 1, '', 0, , 0, 0
2, '2', '2', 5, 'TV2', 'TV2', '/root/.mythtv/channels/TV2.jpeg', , '', =
'02',
0, 32768, 33423, 32768, 32768, 'Default', 0, 1, '', 0, , 0, 0

I nearly posted about this the other day but I finally managed to figure =
it
out.

Here are the rules for making it work:

1)	make sure your channums and callsign are the same for like channels,
by default they will probably be different which is what tripped me up.
2)	make sure the xmltvid's are the same so your guide data is the same
(you'll probably have to run mythfilldatabase twice, one for each card).
3)	make sure visible is set to on for the same channels on both cards,
this also tripped me as I was hiding the DVB channels, myth uses the
callsign to match channels and only displays one 'version' of the =
channel.

That should be it.

For me the process was:

1)	import channels for my pvr150 from a web based feed.
2)	scan for DVB channels.
3)	renamethe callsigns for 1, 2 etc to match the sky callsigns
4)	check and set the xmltvid's to be the same.
5)	add an extra line to my mythfilldatabase script so that DVB channels
are populated as well.

Hope this makes sense, someone else will no doubt point out if I've =
missed
something or if there is an easy way.

PS, download MQSQL Query browser from mysql.org and also the admin tool =
its
much easier to manage the database as it provides a graphical interface =
to
the myth database.
