Thanks for your help debugging this issue.

For anyone else interested without reading through all of the back and
forth discussion on my blog comments, the gist of it was...I was
making an incorrect assumption that the channel number will be the
same as program number. That assumption is almost 100% correct for my
cable provider (the only channel that didn't follow that convention
was one I'd never watch...jewelry shopping channel...and thus didn't
notice), but fails miserably for some cable providers.

To fix this involves 2 changes. First, I provided Patrick with a perl
script to configure the database correctly (this replaces the SQL
command I previously provided to configure the db). Second, it
involved a few small code changes in my mythtv patch to deal with the
fact that vchannel and program can be 2 different values. I'll try to
make the changes to the patch tonight, and get the updated patch and
perl script online, as well as updating the instructions.
