[mythtv-users] DVB Channel data in Sydney

[David Collett]

I rebuild my mythtv box recently and this time around I found the
wonderful script channels.conf-import.pl in the contrib directory of
the mythtv cvs (not sure if it is in the releases). It (as you can
probably guess) takes your channels.conf file (the one you use for
mplayer, probably generated by scan) and imports that into the mythtv
database scheme. More details and instructions are included in the
header of the program.
