HDPVR and hvr1800 epg data not "merging"

[jam_zhou]

I'm going to get rid of the hvr1800 and get a colossus so that npvr thinks it's all HD content. Then I won't have to manually remap and also because I need an excuse to buy one. I'm hoping to get it for $122.

In case you are reading my Sig, this discussion is for a "new" build...I've been putting it together for a year now.

So I'm thinking that instead of editing the channel numbers in config I want to edit through the database. I've never done this before, but if it's in a reasonable format then I want to copy the channel number column from one part of the database to another. Can someone tell me if it's possible and if so what easy and free program can I use. I'm assuming it's an sqlite editor of some sort?

btw...what does the stars on the thread mean?

... free program can I use. I'm assuming it's an sqlite editor of some sort?

I have tried several and my favourite is ...

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox...e-manager/

I have no idea why it is packaged as a Firefox addon ... Sqlite Manager opens its own window and operates like any other standalone program.

It just means someone has clicked on the 'Rate This Thread' menu option above.

I think the vbulletin guys had hoped everyone would be rating threads, and you'd get accurate ratings. The reality is no body uses this feature. You get the occasional thread were someone has used it - often either by accident, or because they're marking their own threads to make them more easy to spot in the list.
