This, I think, is where my confusion is.  My PVR-350 lineup is a
subset of what my firewire lineup currently is (and I actually think
it may include a few channels that my firewire lineup does not have;
obviously my firewire lineup includes a lot more channels than my
pvr-350 lineup does).  Should I just make a SD lineup that includes
all the channels available; only the channels that my older zap2it
lineups use (inclusive of channels that one lineup uses but not the
other); or some other option?

The instructions I have seen here seem to indicate that it is option
b, but that did not seem to work for me.  Right now, I am considering
blowing away my channels table, returning back to zap2it via
mythtvsetup to regenerate the correct older channels, and then doing
the conversion back to schedulesdirect, hopefully doing it the correct
way.

Thanks.
