[mythtv-users] Mythfilldatabase missing some data on some channels

If you are using SchedulesDirect for your data source I may have the 
solution.  It appears channel 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3 are set for 'ignore': 
they are gray while active/selected is red.  Go to SD and select the 
three stations.  (As for how obtaining short term data currently I'm 
guessing through EIT.)  I think you will have to reconfigure your system 
to look at SD data rather than the EIT source it is probably presently set.

Hope this relatively simple solution is your fix!
