You are right, but the tuning of the channels are IMHO part of the setup
process and hence done once at the beginning of the use of mythtv. Talking
onestly, here in italy we have only 8 channel broadcasting something
interesting... and from decades all we preset each channel to the same
position.

do you challenge me to the shortest patch match? :) Sure I'll loose, but I
agree with Isaac, your patch is chaeating... an intelligent cheat however. I
hope to get more spare time in few days and to try to code a "change by
chanid" patch. However I'd like to know Isaac thinking about it.
