The future of mythtv-setup (and presumably channel scans)
is in the BE webfrontend.  Development work on that capability
is (from all appearances) stalled due to resource constraints.
I would not be surprised to know that your code contributions
to move that work forward will be well received, although you
may want to ask on the dev list if anyone is actively coding
in that area (no reason to duplicate work).
