Comment (by ctreleaven@…):

 OK, that should not happen.  I checked with the other G5 user and she
 confirmed that she originally had the byte-swapped characters (and
 manually entered corrections) and all channels invisible.  She mentioned
 that she had two instances of mysqld running when she converted to using
 Macports for Myth.  They _should_ be separate but...check with 'ps aux
 |grep mysqld'.

 Two more possibilities.  First, perhaps your database has become
 corrupted.  Make a backup and then optimize the database; docs at:

 http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:Periodic_Maintenance

 Via MacPorts, the backup and optimize utilities are at:
 /opt/local/share/mythtv/mythconverg_backup.pl
 /opt/local/share/mythtv/contrib/optimize_mythdb.pl

 The "optimize" step uses MySQL functions to fix any basic problems with
 the database tables.  It is best if Myth is idle while the optimize script
 runs.

 Second, perhaps there is something wonky with the setup of your HDHomerun
 tuners.  Proper steps are:

 http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Silicondust_HDHomeRun#North_America_Digital_Antenna

 I don't know if it is still necessary, but I've used my router to give my
 HDHomeruns reserved (unchanging) IP addresses.  I know that was required
 in the early days but it may no longer be necessary.

 Third (yeah, I know I said two but I thought of something else ;), are you
 certain that the other instances of myth are shut down?  Don't want
 something else grabbing the tuner before us!
