Coming back to this, this worked for 'machine A' but this hack does not work
for 'machine B' ostensibly running the same freevo version, but a gentoo
ebuild rather than debian.
Can anyone point me to somewhere I can remove this functionality? I don't want
my tvtime/stationlist.xml overwritten because it sets the stations to 0,1,2,3
instead of 9,11, 28,31 and this simply results in "no signal".
And even setting the owner of the ./tvtime directory to root and removing
write access won't stop the writing of a new stationlist.xml file.
