Explain more please. Analog or Digital?

You seem to know that you can't select the channel? Why?

Do you have the hardware? If so, would you be so kind to list it?

Have not had much experience whith this, but I would have thought that
timezones would take care of this.

If not, downloading the Guide from different sources (with local time
would).

Thanks for the quick reply... I will attempt to refine a wee bit.

It is an analog signal. The university has a reciever in the basement for
every single channel and then wires it analog to every single room in the
dorm.

I currently have myth working at home perfectly (pvr-250 system / xp 2100+ /
160gb) and like it wonderfully.

As for the time zone issues, I think I have got that all set up so no
worries. I just need to know how I can completely customize a channel
lineup and still have program guide info.

thanks again!

My guess is you'll have to write a script or program to grab the individual
channels from the disparate sources the university gets them from, then
tweak all the entries to adjust for your timezone, and finally run
'mythfilldatabase --file' on the result.

Hi Shawn,

or you could simply set TimeOffset to 'Auto' and let mythfilldatabase do
all the work. This setting will recalculate all program times to match
your local timezone.


Bye, Stefan
