I noticed that my channel stuff for OTA got screwed up. I ran out if
guide data...
I deleted my channel lineup off of zap2it labs and created a new one from
scratch... getting just my HD channles ( that's all I record with
mythtv ) I re-ran
mythfilldatabase and all is good... when I logged in, my channel configuration
only listed a few channels. I deleted it and re-added it and it showed all of
the channels. I think that all of the HD channels disapeared from the
original lineup and re-adding that lineup re-added the hd channels.
