Teething problem - duplicate channels
|
|
Hi all,
I've just set up a MythTV box with a single DVB-T card, and I can easily
say it's been one of the most rewarding home computing experiences I've
had for years. I look forward to getting my teeth stuck further in.
I have a question about the channel listing. In the mythtv-setup
channel listing, all is fine. However, if I look at it via mythweb
(much more useful imo), or indeed via the EPG, there is something odd
happening.
First in the list - all the channels that it should have picked up for
Freeview, radio included. However, xmltvid is empty, so these get
nothing in the EPG. Further on in the list are the TV channels,
duplicated from above, with xmltvid filled in, and channum set to a name
not number (e.g. "BBC ONE So" instead of 1.
I'd like to know why this might have happened, and what is the correct
set of channels to keep? Do I keep the ones with the real channums and
fill in the xmltvids manually?
The only thing that I did wrong during install was to tell tv_grab_uk_rt
to pick up all channels first time, as told /not/ to do in
http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Uk_xmltv!
However, I don't think it caused any problems - I killed it when I
realised what I'd done, and re-ran tv_grab_uk_rt manually (outside
myth-setup), and deleted the lines for channels I don't need, then ran
mythfillbackend again, which was much quicker. All the channels in my
EPG are correct, it's just that some are there twice, with either a real
channum or an xmltvid.
Hope I've explained this well enough.
Antony
