Just a guess but try to replace the freqid's K.. with E.. and S.. with
SE.. The E.. and SE.. channel names are what xawtv told me when i first
set up an analog tuner card. I imported the channels later on into
mythtv. Hm, i just noticed i also have 4 channels named S21, S22...
But all other channels have different names compared to the channel
listing provided by the local cable company.
