   As promised, I've uploaded my script that processes the channels.conf to 
the wiki:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Script_-_fix_UK_DVB-T_channels


   I, also, am wary of doing full rescans unless I *really* have to, for the 
reasons I've listed on that link and for yours:  not wanting to stuff 
recording rules by changing chanids.  In factm,I'll go and add that reason 
in a mo.


   I think the script ought to be updated to use the callsign if the name 
doesn't match;  I've seen mention that the callsign is what's set (and maybe 
checked against) when doing a re-scan, but the whole point of my changing 
the names is to get pleasant & legible ones on-screen, and ISTRT the 
callsign appears more often than I'm happy with during normal use.

   Feedback and updates welcome, as usual.
