OK, that's easy then.  mythupchuk is designed to override the automatic 
channel numbers to ones of the user's own choosing, so it won't be upset 
by this change.  (On the other hand, if you like the standard numbering, 
mythupchuk can do that too.)

For information, I found a document[1] that specifies these changes, and 
provides this table:
