My 0.22-fixes backend with DVB-T and DVB-S has had all channels
renumbered after scanning (scan was carried out pre 0.22 release) and
am receiving the usual week's worth of listings data via EIT.

As Mike has indicated, do /not/ edit anything apart from channel
number (channum). Leave chanid/freqid/serviceid well alone.

Cheers,
Nick
