Ok, so I went into channel editor and edited channel 198, put in the 
Symbol Rate (20000000), set polarity to Vertical, set VPID and APIDs to 
5410 and 5411, respectively and set the frequency to 12224000.  All 
these settings I got off here:  http://global-cm.net/MPEGlistDBSN1.html

When I start mythbackend now, I get this:

$ mythbackend
Starting up as the master server.

So it says my frequency is out of range.  The only frequency I can 
think of that mythsetup is asking for this channel in channel editor is 
the frequency of the transponder this channel is broadcasting on; in 
this case transponder 1.  The way I'm looking at the information 
provided, the settings I've stuck into channel editor should work.

Any ideas?
