Which is an interesting point. If channels can move muxes ad hoc, would it be possible for myth to 
'discover' these changes automatically?

The alternative is to perform a scan at significantly reduced intervals, something that can be a 
time-consuming maintenance task.

Even noticing potential changes, for example by doing a cron job which scanned (say) at 4 am and 
compared with yesterday's scan and then emailing the result could be a help. That doesn't help with 
rescanning myth and reallocating channel numbers but it would be a start. Automatic would be even 
better.
