Basicly that is very close to what you do, other than you use the 
XMLTVID verses the channel number listed.  It really is not much harder 
than that, you can pull up the list in SD that has the XMLTVID and just 
cut and paste.  I like to use a second machine (my notebook to do the 
chanel editing via mythweb just because it is easier than flipping 
screens around when running myth.  I use my frontend to display the 
channel via live TV, figure out what channel it is, paste the XMLTVID, 
save it, and change to the next channel.

Then the next day when it runs mythfilldatabase it is working.


BTW:  If you can swing it 2 of the vortex units would be a great way to 
go in your tank.
