hmm, ok.  but i only have 10 channels and this is the only channel
with that xmltvid.  so i don't think i have too many channels
associated with a specific xmltvid.
is there a way to determine the correct frequency?  i never changed
the freqid which is 94.  i believe this was set by the original
channel scan.
