you probably need to edit the database manually.  in the channel table
the serviceid field is equivalent to the program.  to tune the channel
you will probably have to edit the dtv_multiplex table to make sure
your frequencies line up or at least make sure that the channel you
are setting up is using the correct mplexid.

this entry on the wiki may prove useful in explaining how myth tunes
hd channels:  http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Dtv_multiplex_table

hope that helps,
