Unfortunately, some users in areas that don't have grabbers that provide 
nice information like SD provides (or who don't have grabbers) will 
often need to scan analog sources (unless they want to manually define 
all their channels).  For those users, "fixing" the channel number after 
the scan, would entail using the channel editor to change the channel 
number and name and callsign after the channel scan completes.
