Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunatly, that didn't work.

I think there is a mis-match between what Mythtv and xawtv think the 
channel frequencies are and what they actually are.

For example, if I plug the cable into the TV set. BBC1 shows up on 
"channel 57". However, if I put "57" into xawtv of when running 
mythfilldatabase --manual, all I get is snow.

Using the ivtv driver utility ptune.pl, I can tune BBC 1 by using the 
frequeny directly: 608000. I.e., ptune.pl -F 608000

So, where can I tell mythtv that "channel number 57" should be frequency 
"608000"?

Thanks.
