in my case (chicago il), my digital ota channels were messed up.  even
now, after re-creating my list at labs.zap2it.com, i have to manually
add the multiplex subchannel number to the database for multiplexed
digital channels or else myth will only tune to the first channel of the
multiplex.

mythfilldatabase gets:
chanid		channum		callsign
2052		52		WLSDT
2054		52		WLSDT2
2058		52		WLSDT3

i have to change it to:
chanid		channum		callsign
2052		52.1		WLSDT
2054		52.2		WLSDT2
2058		52.3		WLSDT3

note, the "channum" is the only thing i have to change to get it to work.
