I don't use the UI to add streams, I add entries to
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/mythstream/streams.res. Here's an extract:

FYI, where the last line in each of these definition stanzas (if
that's the right term) is something other than [emptystring], it is
the name of an executable perl file in
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/mythstream/parsers. (I believe that the latest
vsn of MythStream allows files other than perl but I haven't tried
it). So in my stanza above abcvidz refers to
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/mythstream/parsers/abcvidz.pl which is a parser I
wrote myself.

Good luck with it.
