OK, I'm looking at the Channel Editor in Myth-Setup, and I'm not sure if 
what I'm seeing is right, so I'd like some clarfication.  For my local 
ABC HD channel, it shows, under the 3rd screen when I edit the channel, 
the Frequency as 113 and the Finetune as 1.  The Windows utility shows 
this channel as 113-1.  The channel that shows up is really 113-5.  The 
program guide that shows up is correct for that channel (the ABC program 
info), but the content is still another channel.

How can this be?  I haven't gotten around to deleting all channels on 
the HDHR input as I have a few other recordings coming up on them 
shortly, and the channels for those are all fine.  I can always make 
sure to tell Myth to use my pcHDTV5500 Digital input for that channel, 
but it would be nice to know that the HDHR input could handle it if need be.

Thanks,
Harry
