A couple of weeks ago I noticed that one of my cable channel was not getting any signals. I checked my Comcast lineup and found the channel should work. So I thought I should contact comcast but was too busy to actually do it, and I was not in a hurry because I don't normally watch the channel. Yesterday another channel, which had been working, stopped working while I tried to record a show. It suddenly clicked in my head that I should check my cable connections, so I traced the cables and, voila, found a couple of places where the connections were loose. I hand-tightened them and the channels came back!

I found out that SiliconDust EPG data will not provide any programs for channels that can not be tuned (which makes sense). During the time when I had trouble tuning to that particular channel, SiliconDust XMLTV files do not contain any data for that channel (probably because I ran channel scan in HDHomeRun Setup). After I fixed the cable connection and got my channels working again, I ran channel scan in their setup. Sure enough, the next EPG update brought in the guide data for those channels.
