Maybe this will be useful for you (might not have been updated for the
0.18 updates to DVB where the multiplex information is in its own
table) - it is for DVB-T channels.conf files but you could probably
update it for DVB-C. You could also look at the SQL commands it
generates.

The channels table contains channel information and the PID of the
channel. The dvb_multiplex table contains all of the actual DVB tuning
information.
