I installed the hdhomerun_config utility on my laptop and did a scan, 
and most of the channels appear to have been moved around, so I'm 
certain that's my issue.  What I'm not sure of is how to fix it.  
Looking at the channel editor in Mythweb, I see that all of the HDHR 
channels have a freqid of 80 and a finetune of 0.   However, these don't 
match what the hdhomerun_config is telling me.  For example, 1 channel 
may have been 26.2 (what I had previously written down), but now it is 
27.4.  I don't see 26.2 in Mythweb anywhere.

So, am I at the point where I have to rescan my HDHR inputs and sort it 
out that way?

Thanks,
Harry
