Xiaotian,
I think I understand what your steps above will accomplish
and it's pretty clever. Seems like you are fooling mythfilldatabase
to get the data and store/associate it with the scanned channels.
I have one question though. Since I don't have mythweb, is there
an alternative way to delete the retrieved channels? Or, is it absolutely
necessary to delete the retrieved channels?
Right now all I can do is watch TV, can't record anything.
I'm hoping there is a way to avoid installing mythweb.
Any ideas you might have would be appreciated.
Thanks,
