I just did this and now my tuners are numbered 7,9,11.and all ( manual 
programmed )
recordings are 'B' zero length and duplicated 2X or as much as 4X.
All tuners were removed, all of the channels are marked as
"  CCI Proection unrestricted ".
All work nicely under SD's config program.

With CCI Proection unrestricted, shouldn't Myth be able to work with them?

Thanks,
