I assume you can't type the (NTSC) channel number either?
What happens if you do dtvsigscan (program from the pcHDTV CD) for the
other stations? Do you get decent signal strength? If you do this
after you start mythbackend, if you then watch live TV, do you get the
new station OK?
Make sure you're editing the 'freqid' field not the 'channum' field in
MythWeb. Here are a few selected entries from my database:
sourceid channum callsign name freqid
1 2 WGBH 2 WGBH 19
1 4 WBZ 4 WBZ 30
1 44 WGBX 44 WGBX 43
1 102 PBS-HD 2-3 WGBH PBS-HD 19-2
1 442 PBS-E 44-2 WGBX PBS East 43-2
1 443 PBS-Kid 44-3 WGBX PBS Kids 43-3
1 444 PBS-W 44-4 WGBX PBS West 43-4
Note that in each case the freqid is the actual frequency of the
station, and the channum is the "legacy" analog channel number.
