 The external channel changer program is only passed the "freqid" parameter
 and not the "channum".  This means that it cannot be used to tune anything
 that outputs multiple channels on the same frequency.  For example a cable
 TV box that has only a UHF output and no composite.

 The attached patch passes both the "freqid" and "channum" to the program
 so that it can select whichever is appropriate (the first parameter is
 unchanged so that existing scripts still work).  The patch also tunes to
 the specified frequency if the input matches "*television*".
