In order to ensure that all channels you are able to receive are found it is suggested to use the dvb-apps scan utility. Watch your /var/log/messages file for errors as your run these commands and address any problems you find.Įditor's Note: I have found MythTV's scanner to not do an adequate job of finding the appropriate channels. Be sure to have your hardware installed properly with the DVB drivers and firmware loading. Warning: the program 'dvbscan' on some systems is actually 'scan', if you try 'dvbscan' and get an error, try 'scan'įirst a list of the receivable channels must be created. So make sure that your analog cards are associated with an all-analog lineup, and your digital cards with an all-digital lineup. Multiple cards can be associated with the same source. Just remember that each channel lineup at Schedules Direct is a 'source' and will be associated with a 'sourceid' later on, and that each capture card gets associated with the particular lineup source that it can receive. You may have to go back and modify your lineup after the tests set out below. Do not include analog channels nor any channels which you cannot or do not receive. You will need to create a channel lineup at Schedules Direct containing the digital channels you intend to receive. The best method for adding HDTV channels to the db is to populate channels with the channel information from your guide source ( Schedules Direct, etc.), then modify the table to add the frequency, etc.
The dtv_multiplex table stores the frequencies for the channels and the channel table stores the actual channel information, with a reference to the dtv_multiplex table. There are two tables in the MythTV that we are concerned with, the Channel table and the dtv_multiplex table.
