Wrong channel tuned on HDHR

OK, so I have a pcHDTV5500 card and an HDHomerun. My local ABC HD
affiliate is channel 231. The digital side of the pcHDTV5500 card tunes
it fine but when I try to tune it in Myth from the HDHR, I get another
channel. Here's what the channel info in Mythweb shows (sourceid 2 is
my pcHDTV5500; 5 is my HDHR):

SourceID xmltvid channum callsign name freqid
finetune
2 19612 231 WPVIDT WPVIDT 113 0
5 19612 231 WPVIDT WPVIDT 113 2

I tried changing the "finetune" value for sourceid 5 to 0 but it didn't
make any difference. On my Windows box, I go into the HDHR setup and
that channel shows up as 113-1, and I can tune it properly. Obviously I
have something mismatched, so I thought I'd post this and see if anyone
has any thoughts.

Thanks,
Harry

Harry,
I am futzing around with my channel table against a snafu with HDHR
myself.. Are you restarting the backend when you make changes?
Changes don't show unless you do.

And, remember that because of the "optional" analog shut off (occuring
now--not /just/ on the 17th) and the associated channel number/frequency
shuffle, things might /really/ just be changing.

When in doubt, rescan your video sources, again... (And/or check your
local stations' websites to see when they're shutting off analog and/or
what changes will occur with their digital channels and, if they're
really good, when.)

I hadn't done that, but I just tried it and it didn't make any
difference. Here's the odd thing: It looks like 2 of my channels are
switched some how. Let me explain:

Channel 231 is the local ABC HD channel and Channel 248 is a
weather-only NBC channel. When I tune 231 or 248 on my pcHDTV5500 card,
I get the proper channels. If I change the input by pressing Y, I get
the other channel. Being on 231 shows 248 content, yet the OSD shows
231's program info. Conversely, going to 248 shows 231 content but
248's program info.

What else should I be looking at? I'll try and rescan later on the HDHR
inputs to see if that makes a difference.

Thanks,
Harry

OK, I'm looking at the Channel Editor in Myth-Setup, and I'm not sure if
what I'm seeing is right, so I'd like some clarfication. For my local
ABC HD channel, it shows, under the 3rd screen when I edit the channel,
the Frequency as 113 and the Finetune as 1. The Windows utility shows
this channel as 113-1. The channel that shows up is really 113-5. The
program guide that shows up is correct for that channel (the ABC program
info), but the content is still another channel.

How can this be? I haven't gotten around to deleting all channels on
the HDHR input as I have a few other recordings coming up on them
shortly, and the channels for those are all fine. I can always make
sure to tell Myth to use my pcHDTV5500 Digital input for that channel,
but it would be nice to know that the HDHR input could handle it if need be.

Thanks,
Harry
