Instead of -ao null, I'd suggest -nosound instead.

Some Fox affiliates have incorrect Dolby AC encoding and the notorious "a52" error will cause mplayer to go in endless loop.

Hey, great work here! Quick question - have you done any research to see if the [xxxx] channel numbers always map to the same channels? For example if [0001] is FOX on every network? Possibly could you show me your mappings and I'll compare them to mine (scan spit out about 239 channels - many many repeats).

Since you're already using awk in fixnames, you can let awk do all the work:

$ awk -F ":" '{print NR":"$2":"$3":"$4":"$5":"$6}' channels.conf > channels.conf.new

Also, I believe the number in [xxxx] is the hex value of the decimal given in the last column of channels.conf. At least, that's what it looks like in my file. Take at look at your original file:

[0006]:657000000:QAM_256:74:75:6
[000c]:657000000:QAM_256:0:80:12
[0001]:657000000:QAM_256:76:77:1
[0005]:663000000:QAM_256:0:65:5
[0006]:663000000:QAM_256:0:77:6
[0002]:663000000:QAM_256:0:68:2
[000b]:663000000:QAM_256:74:75:11
[000c]:663000000:QAM_256:72:73:12

6=6 c=12 1=1 5=5 2=2 b=11 c=12
