Post subject:  Problem adding new channels to UK DVB-T

A couple of new channels are being added to UK DTV broadcasts, so created a new channels.conf file from:
[code]
dvbscan /usr/local/share/dvb/dvb-t/uk-Angus |tee /home/mythtv/channels.conf
[/code]

This created the new file, I then stopped the backend and went in to mythtv-setup. Going into input connections, I selected the existing card with it's attached video source (in this case Freeview). I selected "Import channels.conf" (as I'm using a stock 5D1, the channel scan does not appear to be too reliable), then pointed to the file. The import appeared to go OK, skipping the existing entries, but I noticed the following errors:
[code]
failed to add Five Life:DB error
failed to add Five US:DB error
failed to add CBBC Channel:DB error
[/code]

Exiting set up, the following messages were on the console:
INSERT INTO channel(chanid,channum,sourceid,callsign,name,mplexid,serviceid) VALUES (1593,501,1,'Five Life','Five Life',8,12928);
Driver error was [2/1062]
Database Error Was '1593' for key 1
[code]

This was repeated for the other items, except for the Values which are listed below:
[code]
VALUES (1593,502,1,'Five US','Five US',8,12992)

VALUES (1593,503,1,'CBBC Channel','CBBC Channel',12,12928)

VALUES (1593,504,1,'Five Life','Five Life',14,12928)

VALUES (1593,505,1,'Five US','Five US',14,12992)
[/code]

So other than deleting then reinstalling the channels, is there an easy way to get these set up as I've currently got the DVB channels using XMLTV as I also have an input from a Cable STB.
