Could you break that down a bit for a myth newbie?  Do I dump the data 
from mySQL or use the channel editor?  Is there a way to copy and paste 
in the channel editor?  How do I make a channel invisible?

I thought I had this figured out, my test recording went fine, but this 
AM recordings failed and the backend cannot tune any digital 
channels.... :-(
