Getting a second tuner running

Run mythtv-setup and set up new source/input connection and scan for channels using the new tuner

In Channel Editor:
Edit each channel so that XMLTV ID matches the Channel ID’s in freeview.xml

Find out what the sourceid is for the new tuner:

mysql -p -u mythtv mythconverg
enter password
mysql> select * from videosource;
my sourceid values are 1 and 2

Run mythfilldatabase --file --sourceid 2 --xmlfile freeview.xml --manual
existing channels should be found – accept all defaults

Edit script file getxmltv.sh to include this line:

mythfilldatabase --file --sourceid 2 --xmlfile tvguide.xml --only-update-guide
