Yeah. There must have been another change (perhaps in drivers or
something), too, that had some effect. But, as long as it's working, now...
BTW, Jarod, nice work on the backport... I verified it a bit ago (not a
lack of trust, but I knew the whole history of the changes and which
were most critical, so I wanted to verify nothing got lost). The only
thing that surprised me was that you didn't put in US_MAX_CHAN and
EIA_542_FREQUENCY (which were for long-term maintenance, so aren't
important) since it meant you had to calculate values yourself. I would
have put them in just so I didn't have to think as hard. :)

Note that these changes may break your already-configured US channels,
so... (Only those using one of the US frequency tables will be
affected--others can disregard the warnings below.)
US Digital TV users:
- Once you upgrade, please test that you can tune channels before
leaving Myth to record on its own...
- If you had specified /any/ finetuning on channels--especially if
you're using HRC or IRC--please test those channels, or just wipe out
all finetune values before starting mythbackend and things should work well.
- And, for anyone who updates and has /any/ issues with tuning,
please rescan all your channels.
US Analog TV users:
- If you had specified /any/ finetuning on channels--especially if
you're using HRC or IRC--please test those channels, or just wipe out
all finetune values before starting mythbackend and things should work well.
