Right.  TV not working is completely expected.  I have not done a rescan.
Both HDHR boxes and the TV are split from a line coming from a preamp in
the attic so signal is good for all.

What is unexpected is that Myth is working without a rescan.  I see two
explanations:
1)  Schedules Direct takes care of translating channels to frequencies so I
will not have to do anything going forward
2) I don't watch the channels that moved until after I did the reinstall of
Myth and just happened to notice the missing TV channels then.

In case 1 I will not have to do anything on the next repack.  If case 2
then I will need to learn how to do a rescan in Myth.

Anyone know if it is case 1 or case 2?

That link is dead but this one is very useful https://antennaweb.org/Address It
has to be https.
