Unless I hear otherwise, I'm going to file a bug report.  Mike says
that mythtv should set the xmltvid when the channel is on the same
frequency Schedules Direct says its on, Schedules Direct doesn't
define a frequency, yet mythtv interpreted the virtual channel number
as a frequency and set the xmltvid based on that.  That's a bug,
right?  Or am I still missing something?
