[mythtv-users] Live TV won't change channel

Thanks for the reply Nick.

This is what I have in the 'channels' table in the database. I have put
the frequencies in place if the ID's (Thanks Ronald) but I still get the
same results.

I was expecting to see some strange entries, but it all looks ok to me
(but I know zilch about this stuff)
One of the things I don't understand is - when I try to change channel
and get the 'Please verify channel' error. It mentions a lot of
channels. The list in my first posts was just a snippit.

Using ivtv-tune to find my channels I used the following;

ivtv-tune -teurope-west -c31 -d/dev/video0  This gave me 551.250Mhz and
the channel was BBC1

ivtv-tune -teurope-west -c27 -d/dev/video0  This gave me 519.250Mhz and
the channel was BBC2

ivtv-tune -teurope-west -c24 -d/dev/video0  This gave me 495.250Mhz and
the channel was ITV

ivtv-tune -teurope-west -c21 -d/dev/video0  This gave me 471.250Mhz and
the channel was Ch4

ivtv-tune -teurope-west -c48 -d/dev/video0  This gave me 687.250Mhz and
the channel was Five

Does the content of my 'channel' table look ok?

Any more suggestions would be most welcome - as I'm at a loss to know
what to try next.
