	Sorry, you are right. Just before 0.17, an upgrade would
delete those tables. 0.17 doesn't delete them, but it also
doesn't use them.

	I think you can skip this part, because the scan step will
create the channels as it finds them. But it is tedious to have
to set the bandwidth, and type in 5 or 6 different frequencies.

	I have been toying with the idea of using either channels.conf,
or the dvb_channels table, as a "hint" for getting the scanning
details, but I think it is only of use in Australia - probably not
worth adding?
