[mythtv-users] Multiple tuner types with single schedules direct account

I had 2 Data Direct accounts, one for NTSC and one for ATSC.

I paid for 2 Schedules Direct accounts to do the same thing but
read that we
were supposed to be able to do both tuners from a single lineup.

I setup my system for this method but it does not work
completely.



My lineup has (NTSC) 1-96 and (ATSC) 200's and 800's

I have 2 entries in , one for Standard Def and one for High Def,
both using
the same login information.



This works fine for the ATSC channels, I deleted all the
non-receivable
channels and they stay gone.



This does not work for the NTSC channels.. The I deleted the
channels that I
cannot receive on the NTSC tuners using the same method as I did
for the
ATSC tuners.. However the next time mythfilldatabase is run the
channels I
deleted get added back. This some of my recordings on the high
def channels
attempt to record on the tuners that cannot receive those
channels.



Is this a bug or working as intended?

RE below:

Where are you deleting the channels that you can't get via ATSC? Within SD 
website or where? THere's a caching support WIKI here: 
http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-24.html#ss24.4
Are you creating 2 sources using that one lineup per the wiki?
Are you running mythfilldatabase with this switch: --remove-new-channels? 
According to the cached support with SD, you have to run mythfilldatabase 
--remove-new-channels. SO when you exit mythtv-setup, tell it NOT to run 
mythfilldatabase, then run it manually, then go into mythfrontend, and add 
the switch to the setup screen for running mythfilldatabase. That's what the 
WIKI says anyway.
