How do you use tzap without a > channels.conf? I think tzap creates a file called channels.conf, but it's not necessarily the same file that mythtv refers to. It does contain the data that the mythtv channel scan uses though. Look in here: http://www.ethics-gradient.net/myth/mythdvb.html (search for tzap) And apologies if there's a better way to find out the frequency, but this was the way I did it. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
