I've fixed it. A friend reminded me that 0.25 supports the HDHR's three
channels natively and I was still running in direct IP mode to get all
three tuners working in 0.24. So, I deleted the tuners and recreated new
ones. It didn't make a difference but I did notice that since Myth
increments new tuners every time they're created, I'm up to tuners number
31, 32 and 33. I'm sure that will never be a problem in the future. :-)
Next, I reset the tuner sources, but that didn't work. After deleting all
tuner sources, recreating the one I needed for the Prime, and re-linking
the HDHR with those sources, a Mythfilldatabase --dd-grab-all seemed to
work! It appears that I'm back up and running and now all I have to do is
go through and remove channels I don't get.
Thanks for all the help everyone.
