The channel setup shown by mythweb is not complete - it misses out the
vital bits for DVB-T: mplexid and serviceid. To see them, you will
need to do a bit of SQL. The following presumes that you are running
a recent mythbuntu. Make a .sh file with this in it:
#!/bin/bash
# Run MySQL to access the mythconfig database.
source /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt
mysql -u $DBUserName -p$DBPassword -h $DBHostName $DBName
and chmod it to be executable. Run it and you will get a mysql
prompt. I find it is best to do this from a xterm, so that you can
use a very wide screen. Then paste in this command and see what the
mplexid and serviceid shows:
select
chanid,channum,freqid,sourceid,callsign,name,xmltvid,mplexid,serviceid
from channel;
