</font><font size=3>Ronald is correct. Try using hdhomerun_config_gui to
tune and view (I think it just launches vlc) channels with your Prime. I
think if you search the MythTV-users archive you will find people having
problems getting their cablecard provisioned properly on their cable
company account and sometimes having it removed and re-added to their
account fixes things. </blockquote><br>
While Myth is still not functioning on my HDHomeRun Prime I seem to have
gained access to Extended Basic using the Windows version of
hdhomerun_config_gui and VLC. However, the virtual channel numbers seem
to be screwed up. When I type in channel 42 using us-cable on
hdhomerun_config_gui, I get 12 program selections in the dropbox. Not one
of them is the virtual channel 42 which is USA-W but all of them are
valid Extended Basic virtual channels that I can decrypt and view with
VLC. Accessing channel 43 using us-cable, also gives me a selection of 12
valid Extended Basic channels, one of which (Program 7) is USA-W which I
can view. <br><br>
Going to the HDHomeRun Prime web page and clicking on Channel Lineup
gives a list of correct virtual channel numbers with its corresponding
channel name. <br><br>
My questions are:<br><br>
What does the channel number mean on hdhomerun_config_gui? Is it a
physical channel that has no relationship to a Comcast virtual
channel?<br>
What is the difference between us-cable, us-hrc, and us-irc? For Comcast
in the San Francisco area, should I care?<br>
Does Comcast download a virtual channel map to the CableCARD? If so,
could mine be screwed up?<br>
Assuming I have already run a scte65scan procedure per the wiki, how can
I check or repair how Myth tunes and decrypts the HDHomeRun Prime.
<br><br>
Thanks,<br><br>

Additional information. <br><br>
Selecting the CableCARD tab from the hdhomerun setup program in the
hdhomerun_config_gui Windows package, shows a full and complete list of
virtual Comcast channels with their corresponding names. Clicking on the
virtual channel number launches VLC and streams the correct channel in
all cases. <br><br>
Assuming I have screwed up the virtual channel map to myth, how do reset
it to be correct?<br><br>
