Comment(by mc-mythtv at dontcare.sganawa.org):

 Due to popular demand :), I've attached the script I wrote to import
 channels.conf in Mythtv SQL DB. I've recently used it and seems to work
 fine.
 Basically the steps are:
 - Export channel and dtv_multiplex tables in two text files;
 - Run script on exported tables, reading channel.conf;
 - Import back modified tables in mysql.

 The exact needed commands are inside script's comments.
 The script tries to modify the least possible about existing
 configuration, however it could be smarter in doing this (it assumes that
 during updates pid is maintained, which is not always the case).
 If you want to check exactly what's going on (recommended!), you can set
 "debug" variable to level 1-4 (i.e. <scriptname> -v debug=3
 channels.conf). Levels above 4 are at "programming" level and probably are
 too verbose.
 ...so have fun!
