I believe schedules direct uses the ATSC channel numbers (the virtual<br>
channels like 4.1 etc). When mythfilldatabase is run, it assigns the<br>
xmltvid to the channel table where needed, which it gets from<br>
schedules direct (based on the virtual channel number and the market<br>
you're in). Nothing in schedules direct knows anything about actual<br>
frequencies of ATSC channels.<br>
<br>
ATSC frequencies changed in most markets as of the transition, and<br>
it's pretty widely advertised that all digital TV tuner devices (not<br>
just MythTV) would need to be rescanned at that time.<br>
<br>
