It should display all channels that are configured for the particular
tuner thats in use. Ideally, that would be  everything it's capable of
receiving, but maybe you don't have them all setup. Try the following:
Run the mythtv-setup program, go into the Input Connections, and see
what video source is attached to that tuner. Then go into the Channel
Editor section. This will display all the channels on your system, but
down below there is a box where you can choose to filter it by a
single video source. Do that and then look at the list of available
channels. If you don't see all the channels, that may be your problem.
However, if you see channels listed that you aren't able to browse to
on that tuner, then I'm not sure.

The only other thing I can think of is what you guessed....maybe all
your tuners were being monopolized by recordings and it was only
showing you what could be tuned on that multiplex.
