I think the service id only really differs with a regional station, while the national ones stay the same. BBC has regional variations, but for most the only difference is the 'local' news. ITV1 also has a different service id from that listed, but again there are regional differences. Sky News, TMF, BBC News24 & CBeebies all match those listed, but there are no regional differences for those stations. If you looked across the country, I'd be very surprised if any service id was re-used for a different station.
Well this is encouraging, we can simply duplicate the data for the repeated stations. As long as we don't have any overlaps it should be ok.
What I suggest is a new table and update the info during the tv scan. We could download images perhaps at the same time...
TO get this off the ground could those reading this completely check your service IDs and names against mine and post any additional ones or differences (use Excel or similar to do a quick compare, just sort both colums and pick out the changes). We should then be able to rustle up the table and slot in the code quite easily. A quick call to the Aussies and perhaps the US guys might fill up the DB a bit more...
Looks promising. Lets go do it Ed W _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
