One more step I would recommend - change the mythfilldatabase options
setting from empty to "--only-update-guide".  Otherwise you can get
channels in the guide which are not available in your area getting
installed automatically.  Unfortunately, at the moment I can not find
where in the GUI you go to set that option (or even if it is set from
mythtv-setup or mythfrontend).
