You could easily create a script to change the channel with that extra 
argument.  Create /usr/local/bin/change_channel with the following contents:

#!/bin/bash
<path>/6200ch -n 0 -v $*

Set permissions on it to make it executable:  chmod 755 
/usr/local/bin/change_channel

And then setup mythtv to call /usr/local/bin/change_channel
