<pre wrap="">Hi,
If someone could give me a few pointers for further reading on this
problem I have
that would be great -
I have a DVB-C card, running under Mythbuntu, and although I'm still
learning lots
of stuff, there's one thing that's got me stumped.
In Switzerland on my (FTA) cable we get lots of European channels,
German, French,
Turkish, English, etc. etc. And for the most part, MythTV is able to
pull the
channel guide out of the stream, and the program guide works fine.
However for some channels, there is no program information embedded in
the signal,
for example BBC - you basically only get the current program's info.
I would like to mix the embedded program guide with extra information
from XMLTV.
I have XMLTV setup for BBC, but I can't work out how to mix the two
sources of
information together into the database.
I set the xmltv source IDs in the channel editor, but they don't seem to
get used.
I also tried to make a separate group that would use the XMLTV channel
information,
but I could not associate it with the (single) DVB card.
Can someone please give me some pointer for further reading.
thanks,
-MythNoob.

<pre wrap=""><!---->I sent this answer yesterday but unfortunately to the wrong message
..... :-[
I had a similar problem (also in Switzerland) with analog cable & DVB-T. I
couldn't cover all channels with one source but solved the problem by
writing a simple
perl script using the XMLTV parsefile function to join 2 XMLTV files
together. Seems to
work - mythfilldataabse throws some warnings but I think they're due to
the source data
and not the merge operation.
I'm not at home at the moment but I could send/post the script this
evening with some
comments if you want to give it a try?
John

On rereading your post I realise my script won't help as you want to
merge EIT date with XMLTV.<br>
I think I remember a post somewhere about sharing the EIT data with a
non-EIT input but I'd need to Google again<br>
