No, that's mythfilldatabase's job.  Here's what you can do.  First, if
you're using Schedules Direct, complain to them that 10 CKWS and 63
CKWS should be the same, but aren't, so they can ask TMS to fix it.
Second, if the channels truely are the exact same (include both SD or
both HD), you can fix the problem yourself by setting the xmltvids the
same in mythtv-setup.
