I just found out the hard way that apparently NY NBC channel 4
apparently changed frequency on April 1.
I'd love to be able to just find out what the new frequency is and to
possible change it in the database. I HATE scanning for channels
frankly. For one thing I have a bunch of disabled Philadelphia
channels that I need to keep, but which can't be picked up without
turning my antenna, and among other things I do NOT want it to delete
any of those.
I've never been comfortable doing that channel scan. Frankly it about
gives me a heart attack. It's NEVER clear as to what it's going to do
etc and I always have visions of needing to restore my database. In
the past I've had it arbitrarily rename all my channels from using the
dot I have now (for example 4.1) to dashes (4-1). If I recall
correctly there used to be some option for that but I'm not sure there
is any longer. I haven't needed to rescan much at all in the 10+ years
I've been using MythTV. Maybe it's just me, but doing so seems to have
been more harrowing every time I've done it.
If I could find what the new frequency is I could probably change it
manually. I can't find anything anywhere except the fact that it
changed. As far as I'm aware in MythTV that's just based on this:
select chanid, channum, mplexid from channel where channum like '4.%'
+--------+---------+---------+
| chanid | channum | mplexid |
+--------+---------+---------+
| 1041 | 4.1 | 3 |
| 1042 | 4.2 | 3 |
| 1044 | 4.4 | 3 |
+--------+---------+---------+

*************************** 1. row ***************************

Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks!
Tom
