I think the idea here is that the channum field is more of an abstract representation of the channel's numeric identity, whereas the freqid field contains that actual tuning information for analogue/externally-tuned channels. Sometimes (in the US) you may have the case where channum == freqid, but this is not a given everywhere. E.g. for an analogue tuner in the UK, the channum may be 5, but the freqid will not be (mine is 37) and depends on the region of the world the tuner is working in.
