Setting up guide data and filling db

Post #1 of 3 (1573 views)

I'm having some trouble getting the guide data to work with my setup.

I've followed a few sets of instructions, each time with no success.

I have the guide data in an xml file and am manually filling the
database. During the setup process I can exit the mythtv-setup program,
fill the data base and then resume at section 4. I can then see that
the channels have been populated, and edit the settings (like channel
images, etc). This all seems to work fine and I can watch Live TV fine.

But I can't see the program guide data in myth at all to schedule
recordings. I've speant a lot of time mucking around trying to get this
to work, including dumping the entire database and starting again
several times but to no success (although I believe I may be getting
closer).

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards,

Andrew Bruce

PS - I'm using a BT848 based card at this stage, but I followed both the
guide on the gentoo-wiki and on
http://zaf.geek.nz/projects/mythtv/mythtv-howto-step-3.php (suited to
PVR500 cards) but with little success - more with the PVR500 guide than
the Gentoo guide however.

check in mythtv-setup --> 5. Channel Editor that each channel has a string
for "XMLTV ID" I use hairy.geek and for example TV3 reads
"1035.dvb.guide"
