That's kind of what I originally suspected. I have changed mine now, and 
I am happy with the result, but I will keep your post on-hand for later. 
Thanks mate.

This prompts another couple of questions though:
1) Can myth do this automatic retuning? (Curious, doesn't matter much)
2) If the channel numbers are dictated by the service, how the hell do 
you re-order channels in myth? Just make do with groups?

I have a couple of channel scanning questions, but I will save them for 
another thread.

Aaron.
