I've already tried the dvb-scan route and that is how I generated the
channels.conf for mplayer.  The same data has ended up in mythtv (as far
as I can tell).

I may (!) have found the cause, but I haven't found the solution:
In mythtvsetup, in the Input Editor, you have to select a channel for
the TV plugin to start at.  I have filled this in with various values,
but none of them seem to remain there.  As far as I can tell the channel
numbers are valid as I have simply copied them from the channel editor.

Could a database problem prevent myth from storing this "starting
channel" value correctly?

Many Thanks,
