[mythtv-users] hdhomerun scan produces pound signs

I thought about that but as it turns out the pound sign is not one of  
the available separators.  There's underscore, dash, period and zero  
but no pound sign.  Also, after the scan, there's no channels on 2, 4  
or 5 along with a bunch of others.  On those channels, the signal  
strength is great but the scanner says "no tables".  Any other ideas?
