I had the same problem and I had to verify the content of the
"channel" table - and it was totally wrong.

So start up some tool to look at mysql data and browse the "channel" table.
The two first channels I have look as follows:

+--------+---------+--------+----------+----------------+----------------+------+----------+--------------+---------------+-------------+----------+------------+--------+--------+----------+----------+---------+---------------+

contrast | brightness | colour | hue    | tvformat | commfree | visible 
| outputfilters |

32768 |      32768 |  32768 |  32768 | PAL      |        0 |       1
