Country99 is probably missing because it is a subscription channel and
I do not pay Sky to get it.  So I probably missed it out when setting
everything up.  It should be easy enough to add it to my setup files.

I had forgotten you could adjust things like that from MythWeb.  That
looks like a good way of making the occasional adjustment when Sky
