I think in order to avoid confusion to the mythtv scheduler, it's better to delete the duplicated channels. If you don't have mythweb, I think you can do it this way: write down those xmltv id's and delete the entire channel setup. Then do a channel scan and fill in the xmltv id's. But mythweb is very convenient for scheduling recording, editing key bindings, etc. I suggest you to insall and configure it. > > 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, > > -- > MM > Xiaotian _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
