Hi all
First time here so go gentle :)
Im have a little trouble with Myth MUX's
Ive got 3 dvb cards locked and tuned to tacolnestone using linuxdvb-apps, that bits fine. Ive set myth to use EIT program scedules only, no xmltv. The trouble is myth only seems to see the channels one on MUX 810000000, which is mainly the bbc channels. Soooo my question is, how do I make myth see all six mux's?

What you describe is consistent with having an aerial that is out of band for some of the MUX's (I have the same problem here because Sudbury has it's Mux's dotted all over the frequency range and therefore a standard narrow band aerial will only pick up some of them)
How is your digital reception using a set to box or digital TV, do you notice drop outs or artifacts on the other Mux channels ?
It can also be some aerial amps (some of them only work well on certain bands)
That said I see that Tacolneston has all it's MUX's in band C/D so either a Analogue band C/D aerial or a E/W digital one should be fine.
It may be that your digital cards are less sensitive than other receivers (is sometimes the case) If you have a STB does it give signal strength info for individual MUX's ?
The other thing with tacolneston is that MUX A,B,C and D are half power compared to MUX 1 and 2 (1 and 2 being BBC 1,2,3 and ITV/E4) and ABCD being the other channels (and C4) Also Mux 2 is 64 QAM which some receivers seem more fussy about. So you could be operating on the borderline where MUX 1 (being full power and 16 QAM) is easily received Mux 2 (full power but 64 QAM) is perhaps slightly more difficult and A,B,C,D are all low power and therefore you can't see them.
I can give you the channel numbers for each MUX, if you are able to manually insert them rather than scanning you may see something.
Hi,
I found with my MythTV setuip that if I point to MUX1 (BBC1) Tell it it's 16QAM and Bandwidth is 8Mhz, it'll scan and find all 6 MUXs.
I can't help with Tacolneston, as I'm so far Sourth I get Crystal Palace.
Have you tried the svn version of MythTV. That supprots importing your channels.conf that tzap generates, it also does DVB subtitles.
