 My approach was to start with empty lists of tuners, channels, and 
 sources.

 Ouside of Myth, run scte65scan on your VCT_ID.

 Import that into Mythconverg

 enter mythsetup and create the capture cards for the HDHR tuners 
 (which, I suppose, could have been done before without concern) 
 including config for the number of virtual tuners for multirec

 Between Schedules Direct and Myth setup, create the video/listings 
 sources... (for Comcast I use the local over-the-air listings for the 
 discovered channels from HDHR, your mileage may vary)

 Then in myth create the relationship between them as input connections

 Then, as I noted before, use something like MythWeb to insert the 
 XMLTVID

 THEN, you can go back and add more tuners for any capture cards you 
 might be using from the backend of your cableco decoders, associate 
 those with another schedules direct lineup, etc.


 I'm sure that you can do this other ways and probably safely with other 
 tuners and more channels defined before you start.  It's the point of 
 starting clean that helps me see what scte65scan is inserting before I 
 go barging into the new channels that mythfilldatabase will insert when 
 it does its work for any other tuners/lineups.
