Yes thats correct.

Your channel table is different than mine. I am running SVN trunk which 
I compile from source. If you are running something from ATRPMs then you 
are probably running 0.20-fixes unless you enable the "bleeding:" 
repository. That will get you a reasonably current SVN compile.

When you use the scan feature built into mythtv-setup it will populate 
the dtv-multiplex table and the channels table with info. The 
dtv_multiplex should be accurate. Most of the info in the channels table 
should also be correct with the exception of the items detailed in the 
previous message. Be sure to enable quick tune when you do the myth scan.
