Simplest way to do this I think is this.
First stop the backend. Not sure if editing the database while it is running
will work right.
Login to mysql
mysql -umythtv -p mythconverg
If you left it default the password is mythtv too. Otherwise use your own
user/pass.
select cardinputid, inputname, startchan from cardinput;
This will tell you which card is your HD card and the current channel.
UPDATE cardinput SET startchan='13' WHERE cardinputid='1';
This will change the channel in the database. Replace 1 with the cardinput
from next to your hd tuner and replace the 13 with any valid hd channel.
