I was under the (wrong) impression that when I created a second lineup at Zap2It and ran mythfilldatabase, it populated that for me. It "looked" like it did but I guess it was missing PID (whatever that is) and possibly other information that needs to be in the database but is not shown on the screen. Now I guess I have extra channel IDs in MySQL? What's the best way to remove them for a non SQL person like myself? :)
Now, how to I tell MythTV that this channel is 16:9 and that is 4:3. Right now it's defaulting to 4:3 which was fine for my PVR-250 but not for HDTV. >>Any suggestions on what to check next to get this working?
