I see a similar problem on some cable channels here... there are a two 
issues...

1) Your cable company isn't broadcasting the channel information as part 
of the stream (name, number etc).

2) MythTV setup gets confused and incorrectly adds them as analog channels.

It can be made to work by using VLC to check the channels and then 
manually adding the channels to MythTV.
