Channel Editor
This is a delicate part and which define the channel list of the application. Without switching the MythTV setup wizard can move to another desktop (with the Ctrl + Alt + Right Arrow, and the same but with the cursor left to return to the MythTV). From that desk will have to make a pre-tuning of channels that facilitate the search in MythTV, which I did not went very well.
So open a terminal window and install the utilities by typing DVB,
sudo apt-get install dvb-utils
After which we can scan and satellite transponders easily. To do this do the following:
cd / usr / share / doc / dvb-utils / examples / scan / dvb-s /
Astra-19.2E scan> / home / channel_name / channels.conf
With these two commands (the scan takes a few minutes, patience) will get a complete list of channels that will result in your $ HOME folder and specifically in channels.conf file - you can actually call as you want - and will contain both national channels (D +) channels in other countries. Then I would recommend editing the file:
gedit / home / channel_name / channels.conf
And remove all the lines belonging to channels that are not of our country, although you can leave open news channels like Fox News, Sky News and the like. Editing this file you are going would be advisable to save with another name, so that you may have provided the original safe. Suppose that the new file with the national channels we have saved with the name 'channels-north america.conf', which will have to remember for the next steps of the configuration. In the new window 'Scan Type' will be selected as "video source" and as 'Capture' '[DVB: 0]', which should already be predetermined by the wizard. What is certain we will have to modify is the 'type of analysis, we switch to the' Import channels.conf. With this option enables us to move the field 'file location' and type the path.
That will make after a while you see the list automatically imported, and that will be enough to MythTV, so we will not have to do anything else in the Channel and can click on 'Finish'.
