Are you comfortable going into the mysql database directly? There is a problem fixed in CVS recently where there were problems changing channel if you had any blank fields in the channel table, specifically I think it is the short channel name (something like "callsign" I think?).

I suspect that this could be what is going wrong?

Thanks for the hint but that did not change anything for me. I have attached
my xmltv file and the content of the channel table in the db. Maybe somebody
could have a look? I guess the problem is very simple but I have not grasped
how the data structures are supposed to work. Btw, the ~/.mythtv/channels
directory exists but is empty, is that a problem?

Are you running the latest version from CVS? There have been significant recent developments which may be worth checking out..

Well no, I run the debian unstable releases. It does seem like such a basic
issue though. But maybe I should try the CVS way anyway.
