The approved solution is to use mythtv-setup to change the starting
channel. Ideally, MythTV would allow you change the channel
interactively when the starting channel is locked, though, the same way
it allows if you try to start Live TV, but it's unable to get a lock on
the starting channel. Patches welcome.
