Thanks for this. I was unable to tune in one channel on my HDHomeRun
Prime and I knew it wasn't because of the copyonce flag. (When looking
at the Prime's internal Web server, the status page for the tuner
would display 'none' for all fields except Frequency and Signal
Strength.)  Hand-adjusting the mplexid, serviceid, atsc_major_chan,
and atsc_minor_chan fields to read NULL, NULL, 0, and 0, respectively,
to match known-working channels fixed the issue.
