> However, MythTV 0.21 channel editor shows 81#1, 81#7, 81#8, and 81#9.  I setup a manual record for 81#1 expecting to get WNET (stream 1) but got WPIX (stream 2).  I setup manual records for 81#7, 81#8, and 81#9 but go nothing on them (not even a zero byte file).  I can't see to get MythTV to record WNET though as I said hdhomerun_config does it fine. 

Having a # symbol in the channel number means MythTV was unable to find 
the information in the stream it needed to properly assign a channel 
number and callsign to the channel.  Having a # symbol in a channel 
number is a flag to you that you have to manually fix the data about the 
channel before running mythfilldatabase.

So, at this point, you need fix your input connections--basically the 
video sources portion of: 
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034 .  When 
you're re-doing things, scan, then fix xmltvid's (and feel free to fix 
channel numbers and callsigns), then run mythfilldatabase.
