... and in any case it might not be being kept up to date.

Here's a listing of the first two entries in each mux from the terminal 
output when  I run mythtvsetup (or mythtv-setup.real) from the command 
line.

I believe the entries are modulation type, frequency, name, Freeview 
channel, netid, country code 9018(UK), PAT chanid, muxid=muxid, 
mythchanid - and those names are only indicative.

All these are SD signals from a single transmitter, Waltham, which 
apparently uses netid code 12323.  HTH :-)
