Seems to me (now that I've got around to it) that one only needs to edit 
the names in mythweb settings, ie the above xmltvid's and change C4 to 
Four, and C42 to C4 and it should be good to go.

Check:

mplexid, xmltvid from channel;

Also looks like Stratos is on DVB-T now, 59, 1406, Ch 21.  Anyone know 
the SQL to add this?

I also note there is currently an "MHEG IC test chan" (1450, 600) as 
shown in the HDHomerun Config GUI.
