I went through those links and I have some questions before I start running things. When you say premium channels are you referring to your paid channels like HBO, Starz, Showtime, etc...? Or are you referring to cable channels like USA, TBS, TNT, HDTV, etc...
I ask because from the information you gave me it looks like I just need to use link 2 and create a custom location mapping file, add it to TV head end and map the channel names right? In the example in that link it showed what I refer to as 'cable channels'. When I speak of premium channels I mean HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, Movie Channel, Starz, etc....
Are we using the same terminology?
In summary
Link # 1 was the patch for 'premium' channels' that I would have to build from source to use, correct?
Link # 2 is the one to get all your channels less premium channels mapped by creating a custom location file, correct? This is the one I think I want to use
Link # 3 is for the PVR functionality - I look more into that later, I don't think it actually will affect my streaming of live tv
Link # 4 is a but to watch that breaks dvb during the scanning process, looks due to bandwidth? I take it this is just a heads up for me :-) thanks
Sorry for having you explain this to me like I'm five, but I'm now on my 3rd fresh install of Lubuntu cause I keep screwing things up!
TLDR; Do steps in #2 to get my channels?
