Haven't done it myself, but shouldn't you rename "Service" to
something
useful (like "WCCO-DT") and make sure you run mythfilldatabase
without
the "--do_channel_updates" option (so it doesn't overwrite your
"custom"
channel names)?

Not after the fact. ;)
Before the fact, you could use Record All on Any Channel...
Thanks for your answers.
Just a qualifier... I wasn't really answering your question (I don't
know the answer), but suggesting that now--after the changes you
made--you should name the channel something better. Like you said, "I
mean, come on WCCO Chief Engineer! 'Service'??"
Unfortunately, though, it sounds like it might happen even without the
--do_channel_updates argument. Good luck with it.
