[mythtv-users] adding a single channel

I just realized that my cable provider has added a new HD channel to
its lineup and schedules direct is also showing this channel. I would
like to add this channel so I can capture it via firewire. I
currently capture via both firewire and PVR-350, and use the
"remove-new-channels" option when running mythfilldatabase. I know
that I can just run mythfilldatabse by itself and that will add the
new channel, but then all the other channels I have excluded from the
PVR-350 capture card will repopulate there, and I will have to
manually remove those channels. Is there any way to simply add this
channel without having to do that? I looked at the database and was
going to add an entry for this channel manually, but have no idea of
the xmltv id; plus, i figured I would screw something up by doing
that.
I am thinking maybe if I ran mythfilldatabase with the "--sourceid 2"
option, that may add this channel in there 9I have no channels in my
schedules direct lineup that I don't want populated in that sourceid,
so I don't think I will run into issues of having to manually remove
channels later). Is this the best option, or should I be doing
something else?
Thanks
