[mythtv-users] One channel won't record

I've got one channel that won't record and I haven't been able to figure
out why. I'm sure it's related to the fact that Comcast is going to be
dropping all the analog channels and converting them to digital (in the
clear for now), so I used scte65scan and did a lot of mucking about with
the database so that the channels that I currently get off the PVR-500
could be recorded off the HDHomerun instead. This has mostly worked,
except for one channel. This is the Comcast Entertainment TV (COMCET)
channel. I can tune this channel in LiveTV. The shows for it show up in
the Program Guide. I can set up rules to record from it. But when I do
that, it shows up in the Recording Rules list, but it does not show up
in the Upcoming Recordings list, and of course no recording gets made.
As far as I can see, the XMLTVID in the channel table is correct (I
guess it must be or there wouldn't be any Guide data).

Does anybody have any idea what setting or database entry might be
messed up to cause this? As far as I can tell, all the other channels I
ever use are recording fine.
