[mythtv-users] Zap2It fiddling with OTA lineups again

Zap2It has reverted its over-the-air digital-channel lineups to using the
former x-y channel-number nomenclature. This means that those of us
who adjusted their lineups 10 days agao will have to do so again.

I simply repeated what I did last time:

* At labs.zap2it.com, delete, then recreate, the over-the-air
  lineup. There's no need to select or unselect any channels.
* Shut down mythbackend.
* Enter mythtv-setup.
* Go to Input connections|[connection linked to the over-the-air
  listing I'd been using].
* Click on "Fetch channels from listing source." This used
  mythfilldatabase to contact Zap2It solely to update Zap2It's listing
  with the over-the-air channels I'd been using all along.
* I revisited labs.zap2it.com to make sure that the over-the-air
  lineup has only the channels I want enabled.
* Exit mythtv-setup.
* Restart mythbackend.
* Optional: Run mythfilldatabase from the command line, as it's quite
  possible that program listings for today and tomorrow for the
  affected channels have to be recreated. Otherwise, just wait for the
  next automatic mythfilldatabase run.
