Yes, that was exactly the problem - I was editing the config file in 
~/.xmltv rather than the file used by mythfilldatabase in ~/.mythtv - d'oh!

Whilst setting up the backend the broken scan engine in 0.19 only found 
a subset of the channels. I imported a channels.conf to fix this, 
however, as detailed in this thread:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/225848?#225848

channels.conf doesn't include the transportid and networkid needed to 
grab eit data from each multiplex, so I'm missing guide data from the 
multiplexes the mythtv internal scanner didn't pick up.

I don't have a real frontend yet (I'm using mythweb for the time being, 
as the only Linux box in the house is a headless server) so the 
suggested workaround of switching channels in the frontend and looking 
at the backend debug output to get the transport id seemed like more 
hassle than just switching to use xmltv data for those channels.
