</div>Since it worked once, I can't see why it wouldn't work now, but:<br>

WQED is on a VHF channel, and some software scans only UHF for OTA,<br>
unless you tell them specifically to scan VHF channels. Not sure if Myth<br>
behaves that way (I have only one OTA channel and I don't care to watch it,<br>
so I use my HDHR for QAM off the CATV system).</blockquote><div> </div><div>Having done an ATSC scan at a friend's house a couple of weeks ago, Myth scans ATSC channels starting with channel 2 by default. </div><div>
<br></div><div>I also had to re-scan recently as one of my ATSC channels switched from VHF channel 7 to UHF channel 42 - and since I don't watch commercials, I didn't know that it had moved until I had a handful of "WHDH has moved to channel 42 - please re-scan your converter box".</div>
