Thanks, Michael. I'm not sure what you mean by my having PSIP data, though. The channel line I quoted was one I cobbled together using the dvb utilities. I started with a list of the cable frequencies and ran azap. Taking the frequencies it found, I then ran it and dvbtraffic to snoop things. That gave me the PIDs. I plugged those back into my channel file and finally was able to run "azap -r" and cat combined video+audio from the device, and play that back with mplayer. Oh, I changed the first column to "CBS" using "vi". :)
CBS:669000000:QAM_256:2176:2177:1 Any way, I never was able to get mythbackend to record DVB using 0.18.2. Today I ungraded to the latest SVN. myth-setup's channel scanner then found my channels, calling them things like "99#1". I still have to use a bit of mysql to clean that up and tie the channels to zap2it schedules, but that I know to be straightforward.
