Comcast probably changed the program numbers of the various streams.
Rescanning for channels would fix this. If they are transmitting the
FCC required ATSC tables, the version of MythTV in SVN can tune to
channels after the program numbers change without a rescan. I know
RCN in New York transmits the streams illegally, so YMMV.
