Ooops sorry about that.

Yes, or you could insert the channel frequency into the freqid column 
using mythweb, or by inserting it with mysql.

To reiterate, channum is like the number you push on the remote to go to 
that channel, freqid is the frequency the card tunes to.


There is a description of the channel table here 
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Channel_table, but a lot more 
detail here:
