Ok.  I don't see anything clearly labeled as a freqid.  I see:

  <channel id="I14771.labs.zap2it.com">
    <display-name>128 HISTORY</display-name>
    <display-name>128 HISTORY NJ67162:X</display-name>
    <display-name>128</display-name>
    <display-name>HISTORY</display-name>
    <display-name>History</display-name>
    <display-name>Satellite</display-name>
  </channel>

128 is the correct virtual channel number.  It is not the correct
frequency.  How does mythTV populate the freqid column of the database
for firewire tuners based on this data?
