I remember having to do the same change manually, probably following your
advice here on the list.

I have not fixed it so that it would do the change by itself. If I get it
to work again, I probably should. (Writing an if statement with last Sunday
in March / last Sunday in October---seems dumb but ought to work.)

In any case, your query gives the following on my system right now:

mysql> select serviceid,chanid,channum,sourceid,callsign from channel where
callsign like("%Channel 4 HD%") ;

+-----------+--------+---------+----------+--------------+

| serviceid | chanid | channum | sourceid | callsign     |

+-----------+--------+---------+----------+--------------+

|     21200 |  22200 | 21200   |        1 | Channel 4 HD |

|     21200 |  31200 | 21200   |        1 | Channel 4 HD |

+-----------+--------+---------+----------+--------------+

2 rows in set (0.01 sec)

I am not sure why I get two. Maybe a relic of multiple scans? No clue which
is the "correct" one (if either is).

For some definition of recently, yes (a few months ago).

I hate rescanning because it always messes up so much stuff. I did it
because I thought I was missing some channels that might have moved around.

Certainly the Channel 4 HD was no longer working after that; but I forget
if it was still working just before.
