[mythtv-users] PVR-350 and Live-TV not working

[Harrison T.]

This may-or-may-not be a dumb question, but there is no channel 4 here in my
area on DirecTV, so how would I be able to create this channel to tune to if
I use the Schedules Direct grabber??  I'd hate to spend several half-hour
sessions of running mythfilldatabase to get this solved, but I will if
that's what you say is correct.

Also, I did skim through the page you linked to.  I must have missed that
section the first time.  Sorry about that.

Thanks again,

--Harrison T.
