I found some channels in testing on my qam cable system. The channels in
question are tnt-hd, cinemax hd, and starz-hd. To get the zap2it lineups
for these channels I had to create a new login for zap2it and 2 new
listing sources from somewhere in virginia with a dish network listing
and a digital cable source in new york city because since these are in
"testing" they are not officially in zap2it or anywhere else. My problem
is, when I edit the sourceid to match my qam card, it works but only
until the next mythfilldatabase run. Then it says no data for the edited
channels and then the new channels pop back in without the freqid, and
the multiplex info, while still leaving the modified sources but with No
data in the guide. Also the source id on these channels that are created
go back to 5 and 6. (I have to edit source id to 1 to get it to work
with my HD qam card in channel database)
Is there something I'm missing here? If i leave them as sourceid 5 and 6
it won't use my hd recorder card and it then will miss the recordings.
Am I supposed to import these channels into my main HD listing source
(source id 1).

I guess my question is, is there a way for me to combine more than 1
source so that my qam card can tune these extra channels and still
recieve guide data on all the sources? (hope all this wasn't too confusing)
