You can blame our Australian broadcasters for some of the difficulties. Specifically: 1. The network information table on each multiplex does not reference the other stations' multiplexes, so you have to enter details for all 5 manually. 2. No program guide data is transmitted. In the future (if not now) Myth will be able to collect the whole program guide off the air and you won't need a grabber. Except in Australia, where the data just isn't broadcast. > I think it is something to do with the multiplex configuration - > mythsetup is broken in that you cannot edit the multiplexes in the > database once they are defined, and when you do the full channel scan it Yes you can, in the advanced section under the channel editor.

Works fine here. Compilation problem? > why does the 0.17 upgrade delete all the records from dvb_channel and > dvb_pids????) It doesn't? CVS prior to 0.17 would drop those tables, but that was disabled before the release. See for yourself at http://cvs.mythtv.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/mythtv/libs/libmythtv/dbcheck.cpp?rev=1.85&view=markup There's no code to delete records from those tables. > A warning to all other DVB users - backup your mythconverg database > before attempting a 0.17 upgrade! (of course that's obvious anyway). You should do that before every upgrade. Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
