Just wondering if you realize you can use the 
"normal"/low/tunes-SDTV-with-the-UPnP-script channel numbers in MythTV.  
All you need to do is set the frequency ID of that channel to the 
appropriate 9000 number.  Channel numbers are user-editable, 
for-display-and-quick-tune-in-Live-TV-only data.  They are not used for 
tuning channels, the frequency ID is.
