Post subject:  Setting up channels (newbie)

Ok, first I think I should tell a little bit about my tv-cards and their settings, So I have two TV-cards one analog (PCTV rave) and one digital (Cinergy 1200 DVB-C). At least analog is reported to work on linux and I have heard that cinergy also should work.

Mythtv-setup -> Capture card setup

Settings for Digital "cinergy 1200 DVB-C"

Card type: Digital Video Broadcast card (DVB)
DVB Card Number: 0
Card name: Philips TDA10021 DVB-C
Card type: DVB-C
DiSEqC input Type: DVB-S: single LNB / Input
Default input: DVBInput

Settings for Analog "PCTV rave"

Card type: Standard V4L capture card
Video device: /dev/video0
VBI device: /dev/vbi
Audio device: /dev/dsp
Audio sampling rate limit: none [ ] Do not adjust Volume
Default input: Television


I guess the settings are right....

But now the problem which begins when I get to setup video sources.

Settings in "video source setup" screen:

Video source name: DigitaalinenTV
XMLTV listings grabber: Finland
tv_grab_fi: Configuration will run in the terminal window
Channel frequency table: default

After setting it up like this I click "finnish" then I get following text:

"MythTV was unable to retrieve channel information for your provider. Please check the terminal window for more information."

I choose "ok"

Then the next one:
"You MUST run 'mythfilldatabase --manual the first time, instead of just 'mythfilldatabase'. Your grabber does not provide channel numbers, so you have set them manually."

After this I click "ok"

Then I do as it said and I write "mythfilldatabase --manual" to the bash
and I get following:

Code:
###
### Running in manual channel configuration mode.
### This will ask you questions about every channel,

I was just wondering if there is a working config file for Helsinki (finland) TV-settings. If not what should I do to get the channels work?

Having just done this (in Australia). you can run mythfilldatabase --configure first. Somewhere you set up the grabbber, mine was tv_grab_au that finds the xml definitions
