   It is using the updated scan data from tzap, and doing minimal updates to 
the database from that instead of getting Myth to re-scan and potentially 
stuff the channel, for all the reasons I've listed plus:  another post has 
reminded me that Myth never managed to scan the channels properly for me 
anyway, I had to do an import from a tzap channels.conf I'd made.

   I'd rather see the small no. of changes that need to be made to get the 
tuning right, than rely on Myth magic I know has failed me in the past.


   That said, I'm am aware that I may have to take the plunge again at some 
point, and am considering putting some of my wishes to one side and setting 
the callsigns to match the broadcast names (so that a scan has a chance of 
matching up again later;  I can change my script to do that), so I can see 
myself using a version of the script you listed to reset xmltvid/channum 
values anyway.

   But not yet.
