When using a conventional tuner, MythTV needs to know 4 (minimum) defined numbers to work correctly when tuning to a channel: chanid - a unique number given to any particular channel; channum - a number you use to label the channel (typically cable/tuner channel number); freqid - the channel that the tuner actually tunes to; and sourceid - a unique number for the recording source the channel is on You need to make sure that for your tuner input, you have channels correctly defined in your database (you can check this in mythtvsetup in channels settings, or in the actual database). If you're happy looking further at the database, I recommend using phpMyAdmin to check the mythconverg database for obvious issues (check the capturecard, cardinput and channel tables). If you do find any and make changes, remember the backend must be restarted. Channel numbers therefore, can be defined by you when setting up the system, to a recognisable number. Channel frequencies however need to match the station to actually tune in on, and therefore needs to be correctly input. I hope this helps to clear up your confusion, Nick _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
