OK,
I bit the bullet :-)
after lots of messing around with scan and zap2myth I have managed to put together a fairly complete channel list for the Guildford transmitter - I still have to sieve out quite a bit, but I have ITV1 !! (BTW - zap2myth behaves very well, now that I am giving it a handcrafted channels file).
Woops. should have read the whole thread. Ignore the last mail then but send me your region and the file so I can add it.
Only problem now is, although I am sure that I have all the right stuff set up for the xml tv stuff (I'm using the radio times backend, which worked fine for my last channel set), mythfilldatabase refuses to populate my new channels with listing info. I figure that somewhere it has set a flag saying that they are up to date for the next 2 weeks and refuses to refresh them.
I could wait 2 weeks to see, but if some kind soul could tell me how to blow away the listing data without trashing the rest of my set up I would be much obliged.
I run a cron.daily which I set to be to be after 7am by setting the line 52 7 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily in /etc/crontab
You can then add a script /etc/cron.daily/tv_grab_or_something -------------------------8<---------------- #!/bin/bash export HOME=/root/ export HTTP_PROXY=http://hilly:3128 export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:\ /bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin
/usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt --config-file /root/.mythtv/uk_rt.xmltv 2>/dev/null \
|/usr/bin/mythfilldatabase --update --file 1 -1 - 2>/dev/null/usr/bin/tv_grab_dvb -c 2>/dev/null |/usr/bin/mythfilldatabase --update \
--file 1 -1 - 2>/dev/null-------------------------8<----------------
(dont forget to make it executable as that got me a few times)
I run tv_grab_dvb as well because TMF guide from radiotimes is wrong (I think the programs are different on freeview than sky). So I deleted it from the radiotimes channels to fetch and added a line to chanidents "25728 tmf.nl" so tv_grab_dvb would pick it up instead.
