I recommend that you use the same xmltvids for FreeView and terrestrial
channels and use the same source of EPG data for all copies of a channel.
The way I load my data is via a script that looks like:
#!/bin/sh
export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3
dvbstream -s 22500 -o:/dev/null -f 1371 -p v -n 60 8192 &
tv_grab_dvb -s -o 12 > /home/mythtv/listings-$$.xml
mythfilldatabase --update --file 1 -1 /home/mythtv/listings-$$.xml
mythfilldatabase --update --file 2 -1 /home/mythtv/listings-$$.xml
killall dvbstream
I use dvbstream to tune the DVB-S card to one of the Sky transponders (you
can use dvbtune for this instead), then I use tv_grab_dvb to grab the
listings, and then I load the same listings against both the terrestrial
source (source id 1) and the DVB-S card (source id 2). Most of the channels
only exist for source id 1, but mythfilldatabase will ignore any data for
channels that don't exist so this doesn't cause any problems.
Cheers,
Steve
