OK, I managed to adapt one of the samples (de-Berlin) provided with
dvbscan to the information given to me by my cable provider. I now
have a channel.conf in my home directory and would like to feed them
to MythTV.

How can I accomplish that? Can I use mythfilldatabase or is there some
conversion neede beforehand?

Thanks for your help!

Albert.
