Also, if you had searched the archives for finetune, you also would have 
come up with this useful script posted by a user for converting the 
channel/frequency values into freqid/finetune settings that go into the 
channels table of the database (I'm not sure if there is an interface in 
the channel editor in mythtv-setup to set these as I never have had to)
