You can not add digital channels manually with either the mythbackend setup, or mythweb.

You need to enter two numbers "freqid" which is the cable or OTA actual channel number, NOT the virtual channel number. and the
sub channel number.

Unfortunatly, neither the mythbackend setup, nor mythweb will even display the subchannel number, let alone let you change it.

To add a digital channel, you MUST run the channel scan, or go the "scte65scan" route.

(yes this is a pet peeve of mine).
