A local station, WCCO-TV, changed its "Name" in the Over-The-Air (OTA)
data.
Previously, it was "WCCO-DT", now it's "Service".
When this change occurred, all the recordings scheduled for WCCO-DT
were "lost".
That is, they did not show up in Upcoming Recordings, and were NOT
recorded.
To fix this, I ran mythtv-setup, added the XMLTVID to the "new"
channel called "Service",
and re-ran mythfilldatabase. Now, I will reschedule the missing
programs to be recorded
on "Service", and they should be recorded OK.
How would you have handled such a Station Name Change? Or, how have you
handled such a Station Name Change in the past?
Haven't done it myself, but shouldn't you rename "Service" to something
useful (like "WCCO-DT") and make sure you run mythfilldatabase without
the "--do_channel_updates" option (so it doesn't overwrite your "custom"
channel names)?
Maybe a better question is, Can the loss of scheduled recordings be
prevented?
Not after the fact. ;)
Before the fact, you could use Record All on Any Channel...
