[mythtv-users] MythTV in Europe (The Netherlands)

Beginning to setup MythTV, heard (it's not really in the docs) that you use
xawtv to setup your channels in Europe. Well, in The Netherlands about no
cable company pays attention to the 'europe-west' table (yeah, why should
they?), so scantv doesn't work. So I would need to calculate the
'europe-west' values from the MHz values (á 45 channels). So MythTV can
import them and convert them back to the right MHz values for the tv-card,
when it reads them from the database.

Can't this be done easier? AFAIK the database itself doesn't take MHz
values but only the 'europe-west frequencies' (etc.), is this right? Why
not make a(n extra) MHz column? And how will XMLTV (or MythTV when
importing) know what channelname binds to what frequency?

btw, why is the non-US FAQ dormant? Even the 'sorry, under construction'
page is incomplete. :-/
