Most likely I did something wrong when importing all the channels (when
setting up the source). 

The best way to verify and fix it is to access the database directly.
do "mysql mythconverg", and try:
"Select * from channel"
and see that all the fields are properly filled in.

If they're not, you can update with
"UPDATE callsign='foo' where chanid=1" and so on.

I think this is related to the ordering of the channels, so it may or
may not be the callsign that is missing in your case (depending on how
you chose to order the channels).
