Make sure that you are also adding the channel IDs to the
<videosource>.xmltv file in $BACKEND_USER/.mythtv, where <videosource>
is the name of the videosource you created in mythtv-setup. This file
is what mythfilldatabase (MFDB) uses to determine which channels to
grab data for. You want to make sure that channels defined in MythTV
and entries in this file are in complete agreement, otherwise you can
get extra channels created when MFDB runs.

You can use the channel editor in mythtv-setup for this.
