Two issues here:
1) make sure both xawtv and mythTV use the (same) correct grid for the area 
you live in
2) some channes use finetuning off the grid, xawtv supports this with a 
single keypress, mythst only when using the --manual flag when importing 
your channels in myth. And you have to know your finetuning values 
yourself, making it rather unusable.

If yuo have a lot of finetuning channels, it is easier for now to import 
them from the xawtv settings file.
