OK, looks like I finally got it straightened out. Tried Jelte's method
first. For some reason the scanner thought those three channels were
encrypted. However, I told it to accept them and their "unused"
transports anyway. I still couldn't tune them, but at least this step got
the multiplex ID into the database. After this, I deleted the duplicate
channels, made sure all of the fields in the new rows in the channel table
were populated correctly, and restarted everything. I was now able to
tune the missing channels. :D Went through the channel table and cleaned
up the oddball new chanid numbers, ran mythfilldatabase. Everything looks
OK at this point Keeping fingers crossed. New DB backed up ;-)
Thanks all for the help.
I hope TWC doesn't pull this again for a while.
