As I wrote, they are in the dtv_multiplex table. ;-)

Are you familiar with mysql and sql in general? If not, you could 
install phpMyAdmin, as I wrote.

To be precise:
Download the w_scan tool and run it like this:
"w_scan -f c >channels.conf.w_scan". If that does not work, I heard you 
can also find out the missing ids with dvbsnoop, but I have not tested 
that, yet.
If you ran w_scan, then take for each multiplex the ids and put them 
with mysql or phpMyAdmin into the dtv_multiplex table.

w_scan will for example output something like this:
ZDF:346000:M64:C:6900:110:120,121;125:130:0:28006:1:1079:0

2nd parameter (346000) is the multiplex (in MythTV, it is multiplied by 
1000, so it's 346000000). This is the row in dtv_multiplex, that you 
will modify.

11th parameter (1) is the networkid

12th parameter (1079) is the transportid
