It's all inside mythtv-setup.  It's either in the Channel Editor or Video
Sources (can't remember which off the top of my head).  You still have to
set up a lineup for guide data and then the scan will create the actual
"channels" consisting of the multiplex and video PID.  You may then still
have to match up the physical channel with the lineup channel by entering
the xmltvid for the channel in the frontend channel editor while tuning the
channel.
