Your mapping between TV_CHANNELS and FREQUENCY_TABLE seems messed up to
me. Can you watch TV? It probably isn't necessary for you to use the
frequency table at all. I'm guessing you're in France and as far as I
remember there is a sample TV_CHANNELS in the wiki for France (whether
it's for you provider or not I'm not sure but lets hope), try starting
off with this.

John
thanks for the reply john
I have finally got some manual recording to work
I still do not know why it insisted in the past for channel '0'
but changing the frequency name in both the frequency table and tv_channel
list to a name
so that it cannot be in any channel list (which does not seem to work for
me) got it wanting to record the correct channel.
FREQUENCY_TABLE = {
"abc":64250,
"seven":182250,
"nine":196250,
"ten":209250,
"sbs":527250
}
TV_CHANNELS = [
('free.Adelaide.7.d1.com.au','chanel 7','seven'),
('free.Adelaide.9.d1.com.au','chanel 9','nine')
# ('composite','Composite Input','0', '', 0)
]
then the next problem was it did not like the default record name with the
time setting in it
h:m got changed to h-m (hours-minutes) now it works
TV_TIMEFORMAT = '%H-%M' # Hour-Minute 14:05
I just got it working yesterday
I am going to start a new thread for which codec is suitable to make vcd's
with what seems a slow cpu (amd 1800+) since the ksystemguard says that the
cpu is at 98% with a capture screen of 576*768 and 40% 352*288
I am in australia and xmltv seem hard to set up. Thats why I am recording
manually first.
