Mika,

You should be able to edit and update the channels table directly in
the mythconverg database. I would recommend using a web-based database
frontend (for each of use) such as phpMySQL to edit the database - it
will also let you save and restore the database or individual tables
in case you run into problems.

If you run dvbscan and dump the results into a file, you can then use
the channel settings (or just insert the settings contained in your
old pre-0.17 db) and the new channels should then be usable.

When changes are made to the database manually, remember you should
restart the backend process so that the changes can take effect.

HTH,
Nick
