I'm not picking you Geoff, but why, then, does the GUI app for the HDHR as 
well as the *two* flat screens I have with built-in tuners scan and find these 
'missing' channels just fine. In fact it's with those three tools that I've 
built up my manual list that cross-references digital channel, service number, 
program channel, call sign and XMLTVID.

Why is Myth having a problem with *some* of the channels? And it can see 
*some* service numbers on one multiplex but not others.
