</div></div>What you ended up doing is actually best. Other options included<br>
deleting the incorrect channel(s) and letting mythfilldatabase re-add<br>
it, or just deleting the video source and then re-adding the video<br>
source and using Fetch channels from listings provider to re-populate it..<br>
<br>
The --do-channel-updates argument is extremely course-grained in its<br>
messing with channels, and can break things in your configuration.<br>
Deleting a channel or two and letting mythfilldatabase re-add the<br>
channel(s) ensures you only affect the channel(s) that are broken--so<br>
all your other channel configuration remains correct.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It stinks that there's no way to know when a lineup change is about to come and screw up the recordings.

<div><br></div><div>I've not been checking the exit status of "mythchanger" with the 4250HDC, so MythTV just records blindly. I've just added logic to my channel-change script to log if it exits with non-zero and "exit 1", but I'm not sure mythchanger can detect failed channel changes. I'm looking forward to trying 0.25's internal firewire channel changer with the HD-PVR and see if it's any better with error conditions.</div>
