I would understand if atscscan was showing channel "names" of the form [xxxx], but they are mostly the actual ASCII-character channel names (like KTVU-DT and such). The other piece of information is that I am using an antenna for OTA scan and not QAM. It is a real pain because, mythfilldatabase can't find any data for the channel numbers that mythtv-setup found. -- Mitko Haralanov voidtrance at comcast dot net http://voidtrance.home.comcast.net ========================================== He's like a function -- he returns a value, in the form of his opinion.
