Yes, xmltvid is just an identifier for the XMLTV (or Schedules Direct) 
channel whose listings data should be applied to this (MythTV) channel.

mythfilldatabase always tries to update xmltvid if it has unused 
channels in the Schedules Direct lineup and you have MythTV channels 
without xmltvids.  Therefore, set some value that won't ever be used by 
Schedules Direct for channels without listings data.  (This is 
especially important for people who can't remove the "extra" channels 
from their lineups because they're using the same lineup for multiple 
MythTV Video Sources.)
