Three things :

azap is part of dvb-apps (certainly under cvs)
svn mythtv-setup can import channels.conf files (your mileage may
vary). The actual format is : name:frequency:modulation:serviceid.
I'd be very wary about using any external import scripts unless they
can cope with the post 0.16 setup.
