​I just did this for myself 2 weeks ago due to the NBC change in the US and
it worked without a hitch.  I also did it for a friend, and he had the same
symptoms as you and it was due to the HDHR being in use by another node on
his network.  In his case it was AndroidTV, but it could be anything having
it tuned or exclusively locked (Plex, Emby, TVHeadend, etc...).

You may want to check that first, or pick another tuner in MythTV to do the
scan and see if it goes through.
