  I use tv_grab_sn here, and I had a hell of a time going through this part of 
the configuration.  What I had to do, was run 'tv_grab_sn' with '--configure' 
for the first time, this is to define the channels that its supposed to grab.  
Now came the myth part, my grabber and my TV card did not agree on channel 
numbers.  An example, would be that the grabber identified a channel as 
'26.da', while this channel here would be E10.  This required, that I run 
mythfilldatabase with '--manual' to edit the entire entry, but only for the 
first time.  Iff, this doesn't set the channels then I ran setup and told it 
to empty the channel/program datatable ... all other settings as usual.  Then 
back to running mythfilldatabase --manual to manually set up the channels.  
Took some time with 23 channels :-)  To obtain the correct channel numbers, I 
had to go through my xawtv configuration, but telling mythfilldatabase to do 
this automatically did not solve the problems.  This would tell myth, the 
correct channels, but mythfilldatabase would not know what channel belongs to 
what, as the '26.da' is actually the channel id as defined on the grabber 
side, and would be an identification number in the database as 
'26.datablablah.com', without which the table is never filled in correctly.  
So, print on a piece of paper (for now) and then having it in hand, while 
running mythfilldatabase in manual mode was the only solution for me.

Hope that helps.
