This could happen if you have changed your video source but
there are still old entries for the same stations in your
channel table.

First, http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-21.html#ss21.5

$ mysql -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg
mysql> delete from channel;
mysql> quit
$ mythfilldatabase

That may fix it. If there is still weirdness like none of
your show are scheduled to record you can run setup and answer
"yes" to the questions. Re-enter your Video Sources, Capture
Cards, and Input Connections. Your recordings and record rules
will be safe.
