Well, since apparently nobody out there uses firewire, I thought I'd add 
a little bit to this issue.  I was in mythtv-setup, and for the lineup 
for the Firewire input, I told it to use the existing lineup I had in 
SchedulesDirect, and told it "Fetch channels from listing source".  
However, I still see the original channels that I had.  50 known 
channels and 270 that say Unknown (i.e "UNKNOWN117#0, etc.).

Should I tweak my lineups in SD so that I have 1 lineup with the known 
channels, and another one with everything that my STB gets so I can grab 
listings to record via Firewire?

Thanks for any help,
Harry
