I found a page at http://mythtv.info/moin.cgi/XmlTv/MythChannelSetup
that got me thinking. In mythsetup I opened the Channel editor, and
changed the freqid field to the frequency numbers instead of the short
PAL europe-west aliases. In MySQL, it now looks like this:
mysql> select chanid,channum,freqid,name from channel order by chanid;
+--------+---------+--------+-------------------+
| chanid | channum | freqid | name |
+--------+---------+--------+-------------------+
| 1 | 1 | 287250 | NRK 1 |
| 2 | 2 | 196250 | NRK 2 |
| 3 | 3 | 210250 | TV 2 |
| 4 | 4 | 231250 | TVNorge |
| 6 | 6 | 259250 | TV 3 |
| 7 | 7 | 266250 | TV4 |
| 8 | 8 | 189250 | SVT 1 |
| 9 | 9 | 217250 | SVT 2 |
| 10 | 10 | 154250 | Discovery Channel |
| 14 | 14 | 252250 | Disney |
| 15 | 15 | 294250 | BBC World |
| 17 | 17 | 280250 | Eurosport |
| 18 | 18 | 161250 | Animal Planet |

Now, mythbackend doesn't report any failures at all. But it still won't
show anything but a blank screen, while the CPU goes full throttle. As
a collateral damage, it now also borks the access to the video card so
I can't watch TV with Mplayer without rebooting.
