I have already done that. The documentation is not entirely clear on how 
to set the channel information, but I used ptune.pl to first dump a 
list of PAL europe-west channels, and then using it to set each and 
every channel and test them with mplayer /dev/video0. I arrived at this 
list, which works well with mplayer:

SE19    NRK 1
E8      NRK 2
E10     TV 2
SE11    TV Norge
E5      TV Budstikka (ABTV)
SE15    TV 3
SE16    TV 4
E7      SVT 1
E11     SVT 2
SE8     Discovery
SE7     Cartoon Network
SE17    Star / Showtime
SE10    Info
SE14    Disney Channel
SE20    BBC World
SE13    The Voice
SE18    Eurosport
SE9     Animal Planet

This is part of what mythfilldatabase has entered into mysql:

mysql> select chanid,channum,name,xmltvid from channel order by chanid;
+--------+---------+-------------------+------------------------+
| chanid | channum | name              | xmltvid                |

Now, is there something wrong here?

Nice to hear :)

I can of course get away with one shell script for each channel, like 
this:

#! /bin/bash
# BBC World

ptune.pl SE20
mplayer -fs /dev/video0

but I figure that Myth will get a better WAF rating.
