I'm running 0.18.1 too.  Initially, start channel was 3, which was
fine until I renumbered all the channels (to get rid of some I didn't
want to see and re-order the rest) starting from 1000.

mythtvsetup wouldn't let me change the start channel from 3.  Well I
could enter the change but it wouldn't stick.

Looking in the database, there are two fields in the cardinput table: 
tunechan and startchan.  Manually changing startchan to 1000 also
wouldn't stick, but setting tunechan to 1000 did the trick (actually I
set them both).

I must admit I don't really understand what I was doing, but I was
happy to get it working and maybe this would help someone else.
