[mythtv-users] Frequencies ruined after tv_grab_na_dd 0.14 backport attempt (remail)

[William Powers]

That's what the database looks like when you run tv_grab_na_dd without 
using the '--old-chan-id' option.  And it is '--old-chan-id', not 
'--old_chan_id', so that may be the reason.

The easiest way to recover is to drop your database and restore from the 
backup you made before you did it.  Then do it again with the right 
options, or wait for 0.15 if you don't want to try it again.
