Nope. MythTV doesn't store the PIDs any more, and you don't need to enter them. Assuming you have 0.17. What you need to do is go into the channel editor, then select Advanced. Add a new multiplex (transmitter), and give it the frequency and be sure to select ATSC or 8VSB mode or whatever it's called. Then go back to the main channel editor section and do a full scan of existing transports. Then it will find out the services that are available on that transmitter. > If the above is anywhere close to being right, which of these two has to > agree with the name in channels.conf? Myth doesn't read channels.conf. Best to ask about the Myth part of this on the mythtv-users list. Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB <hamish@xxxxxxxxxx> <hamish@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
