I think he is suggesting that comcast is trying to hide the channels
from mythtv in order to force him to rent a proprietary cable box to
access the channels he use to tune no problem.

But I agree his subject line is misleading.  All together user support
message lists/forums tend to have horrible subject lines.  This is
better then average in the misleading subjects department (but it
stillhas more then it should).

And to answer the original poster, the discrepancies between the
hdhomerun_config scan and the mythtv-setup scan are well known.  There
is not a good solution that I know of.  Some users have written a
python script to manual insert channels into the mythconverge database
without using mythtv-setup.  Check the silicon dust forum.
