Hmm.. how was I supposed to know you have to restart the backend after
I changed settings in frontend ?
(as you know, i'm still waiting to be enrolled in mythingarten .. so i
can speak and dream mythlish :-) then it would have occurred to me
that i need to restart the backend !
Once I enroll in mythingarten, I promise I'll read the code right from
version 0.1.0 :-) Then you wont have to treat us like newbees :-)

Okay, but the real channel numbers will mess up the programming guide
etc, as the guide (or the programs which fill the HD channels) are in
x_y format !

So, myth has to consider x_y channel numbers and do the comparison
based on x and  then on y separately. The channel numbers being
broadcasted by stations are also in x_y format. So, the OTA HD users
are used to x_y. It'll be nice if myth adjust itself to the real
channel numbers for HD instead of forcing users to alternative format.

I really like mythtv and see great potential. I'm trying to learn and
willing to contribute too.

Thanks
