[mythtv-users] HDHomeRun and channels.conf

Hi,

I am using my HDHomeRun connected to my cable company's QAM256 service.  The
MythTV channel scan does not find most of my channels (actually, it finds
them, but they are all showing virtual channels of 1008.0 and 0.0, so the
duplicate entries seem to be getting overwritten in the databsae).

So, I created a channels.conf file to import.  The "Scan for channels" reads
the file fine but does not accept any channels.  My channels.conf file:

WBZDT:723000000:QAM_256:0:0:1
WCVBDT:723000000:QAM_256:0:0:2
WHDHDT:723000000:QAM_256:0:0:3

In my console window, I see the following:

2006-12-20 00:32:52.349 Imported channel: WBZDT 1 -1  on 723000000 qam_256 a
auto auto a a auto a v
2006-12-20 00:32:52.350 Imported channel: WCVBDT 2 -1  on 723000000 qam_256
a auto auto a a auto a v
2006-12-20 00:32:52.350 Imported channel: WHDHDT 3 -1  on 723000000 qam_256
a auto auto a a auto a v
2006-12-20 00:32:52.353 HDHRChan(ffffffff/1): device found at address
192.168.1.100
2006-12-20 00:32:52.380 ~ScanProgressPopup()

None of these channels show up in the resulting screen and are not added to
the databse.  Do I have the format of the channels.conf incorrect?  Did I
miss something?

Thanks
