You know we have a Channel Editor GUI for a reason.  No.  Strike that.  
We have *3* official Channel Editor GUIs for a reason.  (mythtv-setup 
Channel Editor, mythfrontend Channel Editor, MythWeb Channel Editor)

At least please don't post to the list the commands you use to 
circumvent all of our in-application data integrity checks.  If you 
choose to do bad things, please try not to encourage others to do the 
same.  :)

And before you say, "It's too clumsy using the Channel Editor when I 
have 300 channels," go check out the MythWeb channel editor.

Glad you've got it all working, though.

Note: This post isn't directly solely at one user.  It's a general 
reminder to everyone:  if you're going to do things the wrong way, 
please keep it to yourself.  I spend enough of my time inspecting and 
telling users how to fix the databases they've broken by doing the 
aforementioned Bad Things, and don't have time to deal with an increase 
in the number of broken databases.  (Oh, and remember that bad data is 
not usually recognized immediately--often it's a ticking time bomb.)  
Thanks.
