Ok, well I think I'm sufficiently lost.
1. I only use the Freeview channels, I have no sky decoder
2. Does this mean that the listings.xml won't work with freeview
channels?

Is there a workthough I can do, about a week ago things were mostly
working for me on the old machine, now I appear to be a bit stuffed.
My config:  Mythtv on Ubuntu Feisty.  Hauppage 350, skystar2,
A415-HPG-WE remote, partly working, Capture cards mostly working though
I note after playing around with listings and updates and stuff,
freeview One and 2 are not receiving.  I have a dish with a 10.7GHz STAR
Ku single band LNB, O/P 950-1450MHZ and have sucessfully viewed TVNZ
one, two and test pattern as well as the new sports/v8 channel.  Also
TV3, C4 and national radio, concert radio.

EPG is my main concern, I think I am on the track to finish the remote.

Is anyone else configured in a similar way to me?

Regards
Barry
