In the channel editor in mythtv-setup, the channel name must be exactly as it 
appears on the dbox2, including case. The channel number must much the 
channel name on the dbox2, the frequency id on the seccond page of the 
channel editor must have the same number as the channel on the dbox2.
The callsign can be whatever you want, im not sure if the channel number must 
be the same as on the dbox2 but I know the frequency id must be, I just set 
both to the same number.
I have it working reasonably well, but sometimes I get no picture after a 
channel change, exiting and re entering live tv brings it back.
Hope this helps.

Andrew.
