Here's what I did, no scripting required.
0. Before you begin, go to the knoppmyth screen and run a backup, if it says "backup failed" instead of "backup complete" don't proceed until you can make a good backup. -- For those unfamiliar with the backup screen; (shame on you) it actually speaks the words via a sound file, so listen, don't watch for the completion status.
1. First, I figured out exactly what each channel was. Some had channels/callsigns detected automatically by the signal, others I had to tune and watch until I saw a "station bug" or could identify the program, and compare it to current listings. THIS IS REALLY TEDIOUS.
2. Next, I went to SchedulesDirect and selected my cable Co's Digital lineup, then went in to the edit webpage and only enabled the channels that I identified in the first step.
3. Next, use the Schedules Direct webpage to print a report of your custom listings. This report includes the xmltvid.
4. Go into the MythWeb Channel Editor
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/mythweb/settings/channels
Use this form set the name and callsign to match what you identifed in step 1. set the xmltvid to match what's on the report from step 3. and for extra credit set the channum to something you like. (i.e. no dots or hashes, but it seems like myth would still be happy whatever you name them.)
5. Restart the back end. (a reboot also works)
6. Run a mythfilldatabase. (maybe with the --refresh-all) Alternately you can skip this step, and just wait for mythfilldatabase to run at its next scheduled time.
Enjoy DTV!
