[mythtv-users] World Series network has morphed into NBC? only on my machine I'm sure

[Bakula News]

temporary hardware brainfart, unfixable by reboot.

Turned box OFF for 7 minutes. all cards seem to have relocated their
ability to tune, as well as to record both audio and video at the same
time.
Wish I'd figured this out Wednesday of course.

Thanks :-)
