It wouldn't be a bad idea to give the option of using stored PIDs in mythconverg.channel or use 'auto' for the old behavior. Expert users could even fill in those columns for faster backend tuning. Also, these columns could be viewed as cached data and get updated when a valid PAT/PMT is found but use the cache values during tuning. Of course, this would make tuning a lot more complicated I think.
