There will be some changes made on the SD website to manipulate the
lineups on the JSON service, but the days of selecting channels on the
website are gone. Since the scripts are CLI, it's unwieldy to iterate
through 1245 channels to indicate whether you want to download the
schedules, so that will be up to something like MythWeb or the backend
web-based mythtv setup program (setting the "visible" flag).
