As it turns out, I had an odd issue.  I was scanning Tuner 1 through
Myth for the channels, but scanning Tuner1 through the HDHR interface
- forgetting the tuners are 0 and 1.  For some reason, just Tuner 1
wasn't getting some channels.  It appears my coax was a little loose.
I tightened it, and suddenly I was able to get everything again.
