[mythtv-users] Schedule Info for HD Channels -- with xmltvid be enough to match?

[George Galt]

All:

I've been banging my head against a wall on this for a few days.  I've
added an HDHomeRun and connected it to my local cable system.  After
following the wiki guides I scanned for channels and found the local
broadcast channels, then set up a lineup on SchedulesDirect using the
OTA data (as recommended by the wiki).  Unfortunately, only 2 of the
local stations matched channel numbers between the scan and the OTA
channel numbering -- 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 9.1 and 9.2.  The others were on
other channel numbers that differed from the OTA guide (e.g., channel
7.1 is found on channel 17.1 on the cable system, channel 26.1 is
17.4, 26.2 is 17.3, 20.1 is 15.2 and 5.1 is 15.1).  The cable guide
data has all of these stations listed up in the 200s.

Having dug through the archives it seems as though inserting the
xmltvid for the missing stations from the information for those
channels in my HD cable guide would allow them to be provided
information on the schedule (i.e., put the xmltvid for cable channel
213 -- WTTG-HD on the cable system -- in the "channel" table for 15.1
-- the channel number for WTTG-HD, which is supposed to be at 5.1 on
the OTA guide).  As you can see from the table dump below, that is
what I did:


+--------+---------+---------+------------------+
| chanid | channum | xmltvid | name             |
+--------+---------+---------+------------------+
|   3171 | 17.1    | 19579   | WJLA_HD          |
|   3172 | 17.2    |         | 7-WX             |
|   3173 | 17.3    |         | 7-LOCAL          |
|   3174 | 17.4    | 32052   | WETA_HD          |
|   3175 | 17.5    | 32050   | CREATE           |
|   3176 | 17.6    | 21526   | KIDS             |
|   3177 | 17.7    |         | WETA SD          |
|   3152 | 15.2    | 32744   | WDCW_HD          |
|   3151 | 15.1    | 20367   | WTTG_HD          |
|   3041 | 4.1     | 19578   | WRC-HD           |
|   3042 | 4.2     | 45736   | WRC-SD           |
|   3043 | 4.3     | 61342   | Universal Sports |
|   3091 | 9.1     | 19580   | WUSA-HD          |
|   3092 | 9.2     | 47155   | 9-Radar          |
+--------+---------+---------+------------------+

However, it hasn't worked.  I run mythfilldatabase and these channels
-- 15.1, 15.2, 17.6, 17.5, 17.4, and 17.1 -- all remain without guide
information.  Channels 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 9.1 and 9.2 all have guide
information since their channel number match their OTA schedule
information.  Is there another table where I can find some info from
SchedulesDirect that will allow me to match the cable-scanned channel
numbers to the OTA guide data?

What am I missing?

Thanks,

George
