Using mythtv-setup's channel editor, change the freqid for channels 84 
and 85 to 71 and 72 and delete channels 71 and 72 from the lineup, if 
they exist, or at least change their freqid's to the appropriate channel 
numbers.  If you really want to, you can even change the channel 
numbers.  As long as you don't change the xmltvid and do /not/ pass the 
"--do-channel-updates" option to mythfilldatabase, it should continue to 
update the listings without problems.  If you ever need to use 
"--do-channel-updates", you'll have to edit your channels, again--unless 
TMS has updated the lineup by then (and, of course, they will update it 
within a week of your fixing your channels ;).
