What about dtv_multiplex?

Here in the UK, the DVB channel definitions contain fields mplexid and
serviceid, which tie in to dtv_multiplex. The mplexid gets the tuning
data for the multiplex that the channel is part of, and the serviceid
represents the id of the channel within that particular multiplex.

Please post the full channel entries for the 28_1 KEPBDT  and 281
KEPB-HD from the database and also the contents of dtv_multiplex.
