After changing the atsc_major and atsc_minor values for the channel
entries and letting
it sit for a day for the guide data to catch up things are starting to
look right. But
then a recording came up and the backend logged this:

So it can't find the channel even though it is right there in the log.
Frustrating.
Suggestions welcome.

BTW, "Watch TV" doesn't have any problem differentiating and tuning the two
different channels after the changes I made to the DB.
