I got my HDHomerun configured except for the QAM channel configuration.

If I understand correctly, I need to scan for channels, view each channel to figure out what it is, edit the XMLTVID for each unknown channel, and then create a custom lineup on SD which contains the channels that I found?

I see that there is a QAM channel listing page on silicondust.com but is there a way to create a channels.conf file from this listing?

Recent post on SiliconDust forums same subject. Looks like a solution too.

So I have my PVR500 working off of a SD cable lineup.

As for my HDHR, I have gone through the channels and assigned the XMLTVID to each one. Then I created a SD digital cable lineup containing the digital channels that I receive.

At this point, the HDHR channels have show listings but the channel name and description are not being populated.

What do I have to do to get the channel names populated?

If I have the same channel in both lineups, will the same show be recorded by both tuners at the same time?

So the HDHR will work with digital QAM in R5F27?

Sure does.

Cool! I will give it a try!

I ended up going through the channels.

I noted the mythtv channel identifier, the station callsign, and the xmltvid in a spreadsheet. Then I used the spreadsheet to construct SQL which I then pasted into mysql.

The xmltvid determines the lineup from SD. The station callsign is important for scheduling. If you have the same channel on 2 different lineups, then they both need to have the same callsign or myth may record the same show on both channels at the same time.
