Peter,

You can try using the tool for database management:
http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/index.php
It took me about 5 min to get it, install it and start using it.
If you need help getting it configured, email me directly and I'll help you out.

Once you have this up you can poke around and see what DVB is doing to
the channels you are getting and figure out what to insert to get the
ones you need working.
