entry I made was I67890.json.schedulesdirect.org  I don't see any errors
regarding that channel in mythfilldatabase output.

I tried to set everything else based on an example from another working
channel. I still don't know how "service ID" got set. I may have set that
accidentally but I don't know if it matters, or indeed what that setting is
for.  There doesn't seem to be a way to clear it so maybe it got set
automatically after all.
