[mythtv-users] [mythtv] HDHR Prime with CC in ATSC tuning mode possible?

[Larry K]

FWIW, my HDHR Prime that I use with Comcast also lost its channel map a
couple weeks ago.  The tip-off was zero-byte recordings.  I poked around
and discovered there was no channel map  I was able to get Comcast to fix
it, but the task was painful.

Wonder why this happened, and will it happen again?
