One other thing to be aware of - sometimes different providers will wind
up with slightly different titles for shows (think CSI vs. C.S.I.) which
can cause problems.  Most of my Myth recording rules just worked after
changing from satellite to cable though - I don't do any "record on this
channel" type recordings though.
