Figuring out which channels you have compared to what the tv_grab_no can offer program guide data for can be a bit hard...
This overview is based on the XMLTV nightly build from the 11th of July 2006.
The channels in this list can be used to edit the .xmltv file for MythTV.
This is an alternative to set it up with mythfilldatabase.
COL A: The name of the channel in your /home/mythtv/.mythtv/*.xmltv
COL B: The tv_grab_no (XMLTV) id of the channel

Channels available on UPC Oslo that I could not map to this list:
- Danish TV2 (Total package)
- Viasat Nature/Crime (Plus package)
- Local-TV (Basis)
- UPC Info channel (Basis)
I live in a building where the cable-tv is payed by the building society. So I haven't bothered to get the decoder.
This means that some of these channels aren't available to me. Like "Viasat Nature/Crime" which is shareing frequency with Jetix and Playboy (what a mix...)
So based on the list above, you can now edit your mythtvs .xmltv file and comment in the channels you have, and comment out the ones you don't have.
The alternative is to run this as "mythtv" user:
Code:
$ mythfilldatabase --graboptions --configure
This will let you select your channels
PS,
this page is great for icons for mythtv. Also it has a link to a PDF file with the channels for Oslo and other places in norway, with channel and channel MHz.
