[mythtv-users] Adding HD-Homerun to system

[JS Boyd]

Yes, scanning channels via Myth Setup works with the HDHomerun. However, 
you may find that the channels you get are not numbered as you expect 
and may have to reset them to the channel numbers you expect. This is 
true on many QAM cable systems. Over-The-Air should just work. I also 
have a PVR-500 and added an HDHomerun. Scanning channels for the 
HDHomerun did not harm the settings on the PVR-500 in any way. But to be 
safe, backup your MySQL database before you scan for channels on the 
HDHomerun.

NOTE: You do not say what version of MythTV you are running. There was a 
period of time when it was not recommended that you scan channels on the 
HDHomerun due to bugs in Myth at that time. That has not been true for 
some time and if you are using the current stable release you should be 
fine.
