Pretty sure you're going to need to use the scan or dvbscan to create a
channels.conf that that can be used with czap/szap/tzap/azap to tune the
channel (or, maybe VLC can use channels.conf directly).

Either way, it makes more sense to use VLC-/tuning-program-specific
tuning information than to try to use MythTV's tuning information. Now
if you're trying to hack something into, for example, MythWeb, then just
make the channels.conf channel numbers or names match up with the MythTV
channel numbers or callsigns or names, so you can use that to find the
right info from the channels.conf.
