Tips on using the MythTV Backend app:

Useful to run it as mythtvsetup --geometry 1024x720 so that you can see the messages in the launch window in the background (assuming your screen is larger than 1024x720)
When connecting a source to an input (e.g. comcast to an HDHomeRun in my case), fetch channels from listing source only works *after* scanning for channels first

you have to explicitly tell Myth to add digital channels to the DB since they're almost always unusable without a scan
Comcast seems to be rolling out SCTE channels
I recommend reading (the /entire/ thread at): http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/382657#382657
