good to see you solved the problem.

I also had the problem that mythtvsetup wasn't storing the starting
channel.  When I looked at the database (using phpmyadmin) I saw there
were two fields, I forget the names exactly but I think one was
'channel start', and one was called 'tuner start' ( or something like
that).  I had to set the 'tuner start' field, to get it to work.
