Ah, misunderstanding. You wrote "channel information" in your original 
mail, but this is the channel tag from the "program information".
I should have realized as you used --xawchannels to import your channels, 
so the channel information probably wouldn't be in your XMLTV file.

My answer remains valid: modify your grabber, and rename your channels in 
xawtv. That is the easiest way and most resistant to possible future 
changes in MythTV.
