G'day all

At long last we have channel 5 on freesat.

If you do...

Code:

mysql> select max(chanid) from channel;
+-------------+
| max(chanid) |
+-------------+
|       12213 |
+-------------+
mysql> select mplexid, frequency, symbolrate, fec, polarity from dtv_multiplex where frequency=10773000;
+---------+-----------+------------+------+----------+
| mplexid | frequency | symbolrate | fec  | polarity |
+---------+-----------+------------+------+----------+
|       1 |  10773000 |   22000000 | auto | h        |
+---------+-----------+------------+------+----------+

and then...

Code:

mysql> insert into channel (chanid, sourceid, callsign, name, tvformat, visible, mplexid, serviceid) values (12213, ,'Five','Five','Default',1,1,6335);

You need to change chanid and mplexid to what ever your DB is, Mine is 1 for mplexid and 12213 for chanid you should be able to tune to channel five.

I then used the used the mythweb to update the xmlid (channel5.co.uk) and the channel number.
Ans then I added channel channel5.co.uk to /home/mythtv/.mythtv/satellite.xmltv which is the list of channels that is used by the RT grabber.

Then either su to mythtv and run mythfillbackend or wait for the next run.

Should be all good.
If you are any doubt, take a backup of your DB, I have nightly dump, just in case.

I used put the details in a file and then run the mythbackend scan process to bring the new files in, but that is a bit tiresome after a while.
I find the above method much easier.

If you are not happy with sql and other commands then please don't do this, it can be quite easy to damage your database beyond repair!
