Simplest way to do this I think is this. First stop the backend. Not sure if editing the database while it is running will work right. Login to mysql mysql -umythtv -p mythconverg If you left it default the password is mythtv too. Otherwise use your own user/pass. select cardinputid, inputname, startchan from cardinput; This will tell you which card is your HD card and the current channel. UPDATE cardinput SET startchan='13' WHERE cardinputid='1'; This will change the channel in the database. Replace 1 with the cardinput from next to your hd tuner and replace the 13 with any valid hd channel.
