[mythtv-users] DirecTV issue

[Jon Bishop]

What ended up working for me was updating the channel list on zap2it  
AND truncating my program table, then removing the card from seteup  
and re-adding the card, source, and input. This removed all the old  
entries, and updated the new ones. I believe this has something to do  
with how myth handles multiple inputs, and my comcast channels still  
being in the database, but am unsure. If someone could explain this  
better, that would be swell, but otherwise, seems to be working now,  
so I'm good.
