MythTV(current CVS)+RH9+PVR250 in Australia

Hi all - fantastic job on MythTV and getting me most of the way to a family media-centre solution that will keep my kids happy ;-) I have ivtv and MythTV working nicely...except for two things. I am hopeful that some pointers may arise from this post that will help me further along.... Q1) How do I get TV listings for Australia (noting that tv_grab_aus is no longer available)? Q2) Do I need xmltv to be fully-functional to (just) view TV and change channels in MythTV (ie, not view program schedules)? I can change channels via ivtv's ptune.pl (after changing %NTSC_CABLE to %PAL_AUSTRALIA) and view the different channel in either MythTV or "mplayer /dev/video0". However, MythTV's channel-changing is not functioning. Many thanks, Paul

Yes. The channel table in the database needs to be populated for it to
function properly.

Well, there are other ways to do that, e.g. phpMyAdmin or my setup app

Q1) Don't know

Q2) No, you don't need XMLTV working to view LiveTV and change channels,
though it would help to get an initial grab to populate your channel table;
otherwise you'll have to manually do that. I think mythfilldatabase may have
an option to take input from a file, so you'd probably just need a bogus
listsings XML file for an initial run of mythfilldatabase.
