It seems to be working after a) removing the failing battery pack and b)
issuing these command lines from a terminal.  The usual cautions apply.

echo "update dtv_multiplex  set transportid=16517 where 
frequency=770000000 ;"   | mysql -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg

echo "update dtv_multiplex  set networkid=9018 where frequency=770000000 
;"   | mysql -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg

where the numbers are taken from these lines in the mythtvsetup terminal 
output, and will differ for other transmitters.
