Find the frequency of the channel you wan't, lookup the corresponding
channel using

/usr/lib/ivtv/ptune.pl --freqtable pal-europe --list-channels

Specify pal-europe as frequency table and enter the channel in mythtv
0.14 (or is it cvs only?) has a channel editor. Otherwise use mythweb.

Btw. these are my settings using aerial signal in Copenhagen:

mysql> select freqid,callsign from channel;
+--------+----------+
| freqid | callsign |
+--------+----------+
| 53     | TV2      |
| 31     | DR1      |
| E8     | DR2      |
| 11     | TvDK2    |
| 53     | Lorry    |
| 43     | SV1      |
| 33     | SV2      |
| 50     | SV4      |
| 23     | Kbh      |
+--------+----------+
