OK, for what it's worth I moved from the Radio TImes grabber on 0.16 to over-the-air on 0.17 and it "just worked" Apart from going from 14 days data to 7 there's no other problem. When I first used the new scan feature after dumping the channels it populated the guide pretty quickly. I should add that I'm running a Gentoo system so I'm using the ebuilds. As far as I can recall I didn't have to tweak any Myth settings other than selecting the on-air EPG option in mythsetup. If you need me to check anything on my setup let me know. -- Rob _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
