Umm... last time I checked, you could scan for channels and tell it to only
add new channels without overwriting what's in the table already.

Try doing a scan from Mythtv-Setup... it won't make any changes until after
it has fully scanned, and it will show you what it wants to do before you
accept the changes.... I think you might be pleasantly surprised.
