hi all,<br>My mythbox records from an OTA tuner card and also a set-top cable box using s-video; I would also like to experiment with the firewire output on the STB.<br><br>The problem is that my guide now has WAY too many channels and there seems to be no way for me to delete the unwanted ones. I am in the USA using Schedules Direct. I'll go mad if I continue to see 4 versons of Home Shoppng Network in my guide :) I've looked around the Gossamer archives, but forgive me I have not seen a soluton for this exact issue within Mythtv (maybe I'm missing something ...)<br>
<br>I've tried the following methods to delete channels:<br>- from mythtv-setup->channel editor, select a channel, hit "d" and choose yes. The channel appears to be deleted but comes back later.<br><br>- from mythtv-setup-> channel editor, select a channel, hit "m" for menu, de-select "visible". Sometimes this makes the channel appear to go away for a whle, but more often seems to have no effect.<br>
<br>- log in to Schedules Direct, get rid of all the unwanted channels, then run "mythfilldatabase --refresh-all". The unwanted channels are stll there, now they just say "unknown" where the programming should be.<br>
<br>Help!!!! I really need channel deletes to "stick," preferably from within mythtv, because the firewire lineup wll need to be a subset of the "cable box" lineup, and Schedules Direct won't seem to give me 2 lineups to play with for Comcast Digital in my zip code. So I need to tell Myth that "firewire" does not have some channels that "motorola STB" has, for example. And exorcise Home Shopping Network and its ilk from my living room.<br>
<br>TIA<br>Mary <br>
