Forgot to mention that mhegepgsnoop does support no config. It has the 
option to use fuzzy string matching of channel names in the mheg epg vs 
channel names in mythtv. So you just need to set up your myth channel 
names similar to the mheg names. Use the verbose log output to see the 
mheg names. Works for me.
