I'm getting it from Data Direct/Zap2It or whatever, in San Francisco, CA. Or, is there some way I can tell Myth to use the channum column instead of the freqid column when I give it channels to change to? Not all of the channels are screwed up like this, but a whole lot of them are. If I tell Myth to change to a channel that is configured normally in the db, it is able to do so with no errors. I'm SO CLOSE!!</DIV><DIV><BR><DIV> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">--</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><A href="mailto:owen@nerdnetworks.org">owen@nerdnetworks.org</A> (Owen B.
