This is a followup report on the effects of some changes. I took a
channel, 4.1 in San Francisco, that apparently had only a change in
frequency and program #. I had exactly one existing plex at the new
frequency, and I changed mplexid in the relevant row of the channel
table to point to it.
This alone seems to have been enough so that myth could tune to the
channel, which must mean it is either ignoring the program #, which I
think is what channel.serviceid is, or looking harder if it seems not
to work.
And clearly having the correct freqid is not important, though I
eventually changed it and the seriesid to match what I think are the
right values (from the OTA scan of HDHR).
The channel listings I'm getting seem to match what is broadcast.
Although my last scan said the channel was KRON-TV, my listing seems
to identify it as the CW. The internet confirms the station is more
or less owned by The CW.
