Yes - but I'm a bit confused.  Since seeing Paul's post I have rescanned 
my TV and my Fedora 32 mythbox several times.  The mythbox has one DVB-T 
tuner and one DVB-T/T2 tuner.  The MythTV scans were, as usual for me, 
'all known transports' and I saw no reports of failure to lock or bad 
scans.  After the second Myth scan 14 channels were reported missing for 
both tuners, and after the third scan 14 new channels were added.  The 
Programme Guide still has a Channel 11 and a Channel 11A, and some other 
channel numbers differ on the TV and Myth.

No doubt it will all settle down eventually, and I suppose I ought to 
redefine my video sources sometime and do a full scan with more logging. 
  At present it looks as if it will all work, and most of the old 
recordings are reported as being from channels look correct - if, for 
example, 'Sony Movies Classic' and 'Sony Movies Christmas' are taken as 
being equivalent.  I have one 'Christmas' recording from mid-August.
