Re: [PLUG] MythTV/tuner rescan needed this Friday 2019-08-02

[JP Vossen via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

Well, so far, so bad, ABC and NBC are lost at the moment.  I've 
re-scanned in the Myth back-end and I can *tune* them, but they 
definitely moved and but Scheduled Direct still has the old data so the 
EPG wrong, which is a bit of a problem.

I have raised a support ticket there and I'm really surprised they do 
not have a FAQ on it.  To answer Jeff's question I did not post to the 
MythTV forum.  I just searched on it some more and found nothing useful.

Maybe I need to remap something, but it's not clear what or how.  I did 
fiddle in the channel editor, esp. with the XMLID, but so far I've failed.
