Digital channels, especially, really need to be scanned using
mythtv-setup's channel scanner. We don't support importing
channels.conf anymore because there are many formats used by different
channels.conf files and--more importantly--channels.conf doesn't contain
all the information MythTV needs for its channels.
So, why not just scan with MythTV's channel scanner?
