My worry is I have to do a completely new scan, correlate callsigns,
etc. every time comcast changes something. 0.21 had an incremental
scan and I can't find the equivalent in 0.22.

Which ubuntu/myth are you using?

The myth packages and support packages are updated or patched better
in mythbuntu. For example, mythweb and mythexport seem to be
completely broken in ubuntu 9.10. When I look up info on how to just
add the mythbuntu repos to ubuntu, I hit warnings saying to just start
with mythbuntu from scratch. I don't really want to do that.

Right. This is why I only get basic from comcast. I don't get
broadcast TV at all or I wouldn't even be using them. With a good DVR
and 3 tuners, there's plenty of stuff to choose from.
