I have Mythtv 12 nearly working. I used Jarod C. Wilson's instructions under
RH9.

My problem is that I can't change channel.  pressing a key such as 4 brings
up a 4 on the screen which fades, but no channel change occurs.
To pick anything up its necessary to use xawtv first when mythtv continues
with the same channel.

All the docs I've seen suggest that this symptom means there is something
wrong with the channel table. In itially I think there was as I asked for a
whole load of radio channels. I completely cleared the databse, recreated
mythconverge and then did a a new setup.

Now my channel table looks like this:

chanid channum freqid sourceid callsign name icon finetune videofilters
xmltvid rank contrast brightness colour hue
1001 1 1 1 BBC1 BBC1 /home/mythtv/.mythtv/channels/logo-4.gif 0 NULL

NULL channel4.com 0 32768 32768 32768 32768
1005 5 5 1 Channel 5 five /home/mythtv/.mythtv/channels/logo-54.gif 0 NULL
channel5.co.uk 0 32768 32768 32768 32768

I don't see anything wrong with this.

Can anybody help me, I'm at my wits end!!!
