Yes, you can set this up in either mythtv-setup, or as Martin Moores
also says, mythweb is probably easier. As well as for radio channels,
you can also use EIT on a few TV channels for which RT don't provide
listings.
Just make sure that you don't have any channels which have *both* an
XMLTVID defined and useonairguide ticked. Although it sounds like a nice
idea, using XMLTV to get 14-day listings, and EIT to deal with last
minute changes, in practice Myth isn't designed to work with this setup,
and you'll find that some programs don't get recorded (or others get
recorded twice, or similar problems) due to the differences between the
XMLTV and EIT listings.
Cheers,
John
