I have now done all the channel changes in my database and created the
new epgsnoop channels.conf files.  They are available from my web
server:

 http://www.jsw.gen.nz/mythtv/channels.conf.freeview
 http://www.jsw.gen.nz/mythtv/channels.conf.sky

The previous files are also still available on these URLs:

 http://www.jsw.gen.nz/mythtv/channels.conf.freeview.1
 http://www.jsw.gen.nz/mythtv/channels.conf.sky.1

As well as updating your MythTV channels, you will also need to change
the *.xmltv files in /home/<mythtv user>/.mythtv to reflect the
changed and new xmltvids.  You can make those files from the
channels.conf files by stripping out everything except the xmltvid
values and then adding "channel=" (or "channel!") in front of each
xmltvid value, or using something like this SQL command on your
mythconverg database:

  select concat('channel=', xmltvid)
    where sourceid=<your Sky souceid>;

Once you have set up the new config files, you will need to fetch the
EPG and run mythfilldatabase to populate all the channels with the
correct EPG.

As part of the process of doing these channel updates, I have now got
scripts to help the process, so I can run the channel scans, then run
the scripts and they will load the scans into a new table in
mythconverg and do comparisons to help automate the changes.  If
anyone wants to have a copy of those, please let me know.
