The Freeview.xmltv file is only a config file that contains details of
what channels you want data for. Mine looks like this:

nick at media:~$ cat .mythtv/Freeview.xmltv
channel=basefm.freeviewnz.tv
channel=te-reo.freeviewnz.tv
channel=prime.freeviewnz.tv
channel=rnz-national.freeviewnz.tv
channel=rnz-concert.freeviewnz.tv
channel=georgefm.freeviewnz.tv
channel=tv3-plus1.freeviewnz.tv
channel=maori-tv.freeviewnz.tv
channel=stratos.freeviewnz.tv
channel=tv3.freeviewnz.tv
channel=c4.freeviewnz.tv
channel=tvnz7.freeviewnz.tv
channel=parliament.freeviewnz.tv
channel=tvnz6.freeviewnz.tv
channel=tv2.freeviewnz.tv
channel=tv1.freeviewnz.tv
channel=cue.freeviewnz.tv
channel=four.freeviewnz.tv
channel=u.freeviewnz.tv

For channels you don't want the = is replaced by a !

What version of mythtv and from what distro are you using?

The Freeview.xmltv file is created or updated by running tv_grab_nz-py
--configure, which is done when you set it up in mythtv-setup, or can
be done manually from the command line.

The raw xml data from running mythfilldatabase does not remain in the
system, it is stored in the database, but not as xml.

Now go to mythweb and go to setup (at the top, the spanner icon, then
TV (button on left hand side) and channel info (tab at top). Make sure
this all looks sensible with no duplicate entries. If there are, come
back to the list and let us know what you see
