Phill, I finally was able to try the steps you outlined (above). When I got to step 6) - the Channel Editor, I didn't see anything about a scan, Automatic or otherwise. There weren't places to enter frequencies or bandwidths either. Should I have run mythfilldatabase before trying the Channel Editor? Another question: where inside the Channel Editor does the Scan option appear? Maybe I haven't compiled mythtv with the right set of options on the ./configure command. I used ./configure --enable-dvb, and it seemed to compile without any problems. Any further hints you might think of would be most welcome. Thanks again for your help with all of this. -- MM _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
