You can use xawtv to detect all the channels and then use
mytfilldatabase --xawchannels to populate the db. All you have to know
is the id of the source. If you have only singly source it's usually
1. If you have more then one then:
# mysql mythconverg
mysql> select * from videosource;

sourceid is the number you are looking for.
