Is there a howto somewhere that would wean me off the raw channel IDs and
make use of the new script? What I'd like to do is:

 * mysql script to change the channel ID based xmltvid's  to named ones
 * grab the epg using my skystar2 card
 * import it using either mythfilldatabase directly or tv_grab_nz-py
(whatever the difference is)
 * some clues on how to filter out the Sports Extra epg from freeview and
import just that one channel

Cheers
