What/which satellite(s) are you receiving DVB-S programming from?

To make all channels invisible and turn off EIT collection:

mysql> UPDATE `channel` SET `visible` = '0', `useonairguide` = '0';

Then, selectively turn on visibility and EIT collection for those
channels you want. However, which channels you want visible is
entirely up to you and it will be much quicker if you write down the
service IDs (or another suitable identifier for each channel) to allow
you to do this update via a SQL script.

E.g. for BBC1 London on UK Freesat EPG:

$ cat freesat.sql
UPDATE `channel` SET `channum` = '101', `visible` = '1',
`useonairguide` = '1' WHERE `serviceid` = '6301';

$ mysql -u mythtv -p mythconverg < freesat.sql


Cheers,
Nick
