The FCC project is called "Repack". I also started with mythbuntu and
upgraded as far as I could. I get OTA channels from a set of HDHomeRun
devices that are connected to antenna feeds in my attic. This is
because it's easier to get TCP/IP into my basement where the mythtv is
than it would be get get raw coax from the attic antenna feeds.
For "Repack" I had to delete my HDHomeRun tuners, then rescan
them. The last step was to re-attach each channel to the it's schedule
data. This worked fine for me but we are only in the first phase of
repack here. Before I did this I got blank recordings because the
mythtv would improperly program the HDHomeRun's tuner.
