<br>do that...probably because you entered the xmltvid and then did the probe.</blockquote><div><br>Ahhhhh, I see what I did. I have three zap2it lineups, an analog (for the PVR-500), a digital with everything but the HD channels (also for the PVR-500, but the s-video input), and another digital with only the HD channels (for the firewire). I divvied up the digital channels among two feeds to reduce the chance of conflicts, since the s-video and the firewire both use the set top box's tuner and Myth doesn't know that.
<br><br>So when I added the QAM, I used the third lineup, but I used some XMLTVIDs from the analog lineup, not realizing the significance of that. So I can only use IDs from the lineup assigned to the QAM input, sounds like. So I'll have to add the SD channels I get over QAM to the lineup that currently only has HD channels. Is that correct?
<br><br>Thanks Geoff.<br><br>-Jerry<br><br>btw, I think I manually inserted some of those XMLTVIDs when I was experimenting.<br></div></div>
