Thats the beauty of the auto channel scan. In 0.16 and before, you entered this all manually so you only had the channels you entered. With 0.17+, the tuner scan for all the transport stream (or something) and you get all the available channels added. I just use MythWeb to hide the ones I don't want. I believe changes have been commited to CVS to hide the hidden ones from the browse mode also, which is cool. Just hide the crappy ones you don't want. For example, I hide all the TV guide ones, and the HD ones and keep the pure SD ones. > > 2) What do I need to do now to actually _see_ one of these channels in > LiveTV?

Just go to mythweb or mythtvsetup and find the channel number for one of the channels you want to show and enter it as the start channel. Then, try to watch live TV. If that don't work, you will need to run from a console and see what is being ooutput. I am no good at this debugging of Myth issues but someone could probably identify your problem. > > 3) THe most concerning thing is that when I go into view recordings I > get a blue theme background but no text/lists of recordings etc and > the machine freezes totally - no remote control, no keyboard, all I > can do is press reset.

Maybe it is something youve done, but log outputs may help someone to identify what is going on. > > Thanks, > Phill Good luck, Whytey > _______________________________________________ > mythtv-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users > -- -- GMAIL is 'da bomb baby....YEAH I have GMail invites, if you want one, email me direct. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
