As long as the repack does not use a new mux, then it should only need
database editing to change the serviceid (if that changes - it did not
here when we did something similar) and the mplexid in the channel
table.  Just change the mplexid to the one corresponding to the mux
the channel has moved to - see the dtv_multiplex table to find the
muxes.

However, that is for standard digital channels - I am not sure how
mythhdhrecord does things.  Or how FCC repacks actually do things.
