There's an invalid channel record in the channels.conf file
Hello, need help with this. As background, I am a linux newb, and somewhat struggling through trying to get something that will work for my tuner card in Hardy Ubuntu. After trying MythTV and failing after hours of config work, now am trying Me-TV. Me-TV actually sounds better in the first place. Anyway, enough history.
Yesterday I started by installing 5.17 using Synaptic. It started up, went through scanning my channels, then hung up with a message about the invalid channel record in channels.conf. After searching around for help in FAQ's and other people's questions, it seemed like maybe the 5.17 version is just too old, so I removed the 5.17 package and set out to figure out how to install 5.31. Well, now that I fought my way through the learning of how to compile and install a program, I am still back to square one. On trying to start Me-TV, I get the following in the Terminal:

The above channels are not all that I should get in the Phoenix, AZ area. I have searched around for the channels.conf file....can't seem to find that. So I am stuck. Maybe if I could just get it to rescan my channels again? But it seems like channels.conf was generated once when I initially loaded 5.17 and now is blocking the program from launching? Any help or pointers appreciated - would love to learn more on how to troubleshoot this myself.
Thanks, Brian
