OK Thanks.   I just didn't know if each individual unit kept channel 
info internally, I seem to remember something bad happening a long time 
ago when I used another PC to access one of the HD Homerun devices, and 
after that Myth had trouble with it until I re-scanned.

So how would one go about ensuring the channel data I'm getting OTA from 
the channel scan is correct, and what to do about missing XMLTV numbers 
for some of them?

Thanks!
