Not implemented :-)
Most people don't know the frequencies for TV stations. They know the
channel numbers (or names). I'd prefeare to have working frequency
tables (channel name => frequency) in xawtv rather than asking users to
fiddle with the frequencies directly because of that.
The ~/.xawtv config file accepts frequencies through, thus you can put
your TV stations in there and then use "v4lctl setstation xxx".

There are no channels for radio, and everyone uses the frequency to
tune the statiosn ...
