This might add the channels to my MythTV lineup, but it won't properly
configure Myth so that the HDHR is able to tune it, will it?  Or am I not
aware of some "magic" that has been added to the MythTV in recent releases?
 Maybe I used the wrong terminology when I said I wanted to add channels to
the "line-up".  I need something that is going to add the multiplex,
frequency, etc. to the database.

Thanks,
John
