Also note that these settings apply per channel.  So, if you adjust the 
settings on one channel, you'll need to replicate them across your 
others.  While you can do this with MySQL, it's probably safer to use 
MythWeb's channel setup to change all the values to be the same as the 
values for the channel you just fixed.
