If you use a different channel number to tune the channels listed at
Schedules Direct, edit the frequency ID after you "Fetch channels from
listings provider."

So, if SD says that your Fox station is on 8723, but you use 4 to tune
it, just use the MythWeb or mythtv-setup channel editor to change the
frequency ID 8723 to 4 (or vice versa).  You can also optionally change
the channel number (as that's user-editable data, too--channel number is
primarily a display thing, but also used to allow you to tune a specific
channel in LiveTV by typing in numbers).

If you get channels that SD doesn't list, you probably have selected the
wrong "provider" stuff for your lineup (IIRC, for satellite, there's one
that includes the local channels and one that doesn't).
