[mythtv-users] how to fix 1 station's channel information?

[Tom Bishop]

I am having the same issue and have had in the past. Local station changes
frequency for whatever reason and I need to update the channels frequency.
I don't remember exactly how I was able to get it updated but I remember it
being a major hassle so I am interested in the proper way to accomplish,
hoping that it could be made into an easier process. I am also running hd
homerun tuners.
