Indeed.  One issue with this method is there are channels that
don't import properly from scans.   For example, I don't know why
but scans are not importing any of KQED right now, and even if they
were, it runs two different configs -- in the day it runs 4 SDTV
subchannels 9.2 through 9.5, and in the night it runs one HD channel 9.1
and one SD channel 9.2.   I've tried putting them in manually and am getting
some partial success (though it was an annoyance), I will see if I can get
it fully going.

But thanks, at least I can finally record from at least one tuner.  linux
upgrades are way more painful than they should be, and alas Mythtv is one
of the fun things.   I guess I can get my pvr350 working by sending that
machine back to the stable config (I needed to upgrade it to compile myth
as it is the machine I do that on.)

Thanks much for the assist.
