Hi all -
I recently received a notice from Time-Warner Cable (Los Angeles area)
that they are planning a complete channel line-up re-org in about four
weeks. I don't think any of their hundreds of channels will retain the
same numbers.
I am running 0.26-fixes on Ubuntu 12.04, with an HD-PVR (any channel
recordable, of course) and an HD-HR Prime with CableCard (which I can
only record the local networks and a few other channels with). I use
Schedules Direct. My Myth system has been humming along nicely to this
point. I haven't had to do a full channel re-scan in years.
My question is - what's the best way to go about dealing with this -
delete all channels and do a full re-scan vs. doing mythfilldatabase
with do-channel-updates? From what I've seen in a brief search of the
archives, the latter doesn't always work; manually entering the channel
IDs and figuring out which channel is which after a scan doesn't look
like much fun either (will take a lot of time). I didn't mind doing it
for individual channels when a few were moved around, but this total
shakeup will take a while (perhaps it's a good excuse for not keeping
any of the SD channels in the DB, since I very rarely record anything
from them anyway).
What's the consensus here as to the best way to deal with this?
Thanks VERY much, in advance.

I am in the same boat in los angeles using qam, hdpvr and some on firewire. I use tvguide listings using webgrabplus. I am planning to start from scratch for the hdpvr lineup and check to see if the qam channels are still there and if they too get remapped. if they are remapped I will have to rescan those also. I find the tvguide listings better than schedules direct for me
