New to MediaPortal and been lurking the forums, wiki and the rest of the interweb for several weeks now. I have been a WMC user for a few years and am ready to make the switch to running MediaPortal on my systems. That said, I've been working through the configuration kinks and such on my office computer and want to take the TVServer setup that I have here and move it onto my main HTPC that will act as the TVServer for itself and several other TVs throughout my home. It's been essential for me to keep the wife happy and not interrupt the current TV setup so she doesn't miss any episodes of the Real Desperate Housewives of WTF, or whatever reality crap she prefers.
That said, I've gone through quite a bit of work to create the channel mapping between the lineup pulled from my HDHomeruns (2x ATSC dual tuners and 1 Prime cablecard triple tuner...) and the channel lineup pulled from Schedules Direct. As it seems to be fairly well known, the channel call-signs provided by the HDHR Prime / Cable Company differ from what gets pulled from Schedules Direct. I've spent a lot of time:
I've tried doing an export from the TVServer Configuration and re-importing the XML into the new TVServer, but the channel mapping between SD and my HDHR lineups isn't there. If I pull down the guide data, I get a ton of "No Data..." errors as I did before renaming all of the channels initially on my office computer.
I've tried manually copying the database from C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\data from the office to the HTPC and have also tried manually copying the data from C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal. This usually results in the TVServer or MySQL services failing to start.
I really don't want to have to go back through and rename each channel to create the mapping between SD and my HDHR lineup -- anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance

As it seems to be fairly well known, the channel call-signs provided by the HDHR Prime / Cable Company differ from what gets pulled from Schedules Direct. I've spent a lot of time:
- Scanning the channels from my tuners
- Renaming all of the channels so their call-signs match what SD expects (there were LOTS, hundreds...this took a while )
- Pulling down the guide data after the channel mapping has been established
- Then renaming each channel again so the MediaPortal front end has a nice human-readable channel name (e.g. renamed DSCHD to Discovery Channel HD) along with assigning logos to each channel
