If you're using a digital (scannable) input for your TV, you must do a
rescan.
If you're using an analog input (i.e. digital cable with an STB +
PVR-x50 or HD-PVR) or an unscannable digital input (i.e. firewire from
an STB), you need to run:
mythfilldatabase --only-update-channels --do-not-filter-new-channels
and, if you need MythTV to change any of the existing channel
information, include --do-channel-updates .
Then, run:
mythfilldatabase --dd-grab-all
