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.
