What kind of importer / installer do you use for channels?  That sounds
weird to me.


Apparently i very bad one (i'm guessing not up to date with the latest
version of mythtv)
i got it from this page: http://nerdhero.org/index.php/Howtos/MythTV
but now i found another one that looks the same, but does a bunch of ALTER
TABLE stuff afterwards (to fix tables maybe ?)
the  second one is here : http://ramses.smeyers.be/varia/mythtv-cvs/

Reason for this 'special' channel / tv listings stuff is because i live in
belgium,
so i don't think the zap2it stuff will work. It didn't for my previous myth
install (but that was years ago)

No, thats not ok at all.  Why would your channel importer recreate the
table?  You should have left the table structure the way it was, as it
should have quite a few more fields than that.  Myth won't work with that
table.



Thought so. maybe this one is beter (the one from the second page i
mentioned):
