Thanks; yes, that's what I expect will happen, and normal operation will 
return.  My TV showed a 'Please rescan' screen different from the usual 
internally generated one, but myth recorded as normal, even after a 
rescan, selecting the old mux and giving 900 MB files that didn't play. 
  I was puzzled.

The good recording from ITV4 on channel 24 now has Myth chanid 1742 :-)

 From a scan on 7 Aug:

qam_64:762000000:ITV4:24:12323:9018:28032:24640=24640:dvb 
1024:cnt(pnum:1,channum:1)

And from scans made yesterday:  the old channel/mux seen above is now 
called 792.
