I would try a rescan. There have been recent changes.  If the Transports 
Editor in mythtvsetup shows 5 SD transports, each with a netid (9018) 
and a transportid, just delete all channels and Scan all known 
transports.  Or search postings here in the past week.

Of course it might be something else.  :-)
