I probably shouldn't tell you this but you can edit the data in mythconverg 
using webmin. The channels don't match the guide data because the "chanid" 
don't match. To fix this problem you will already need guide data in 
mythconverg. Start webmin go to servers go to mysql database server. Open the 
program table, "viewdata" and make a note of the channel id's for each 
television station. Open up the channel table and change the chanid field for 
each channel you require. While doing this make sure the chanid's are unique 
in the field at all times or else mysql will crack it.
Be careful in there you can make a mess of the installation.
