I think at this point you're supposed to run mythfilldatabase to "fill in" the 
rest of the information for the newly scanned channels. You'd be able to watch 
LiveTV but not much else with what you have. You can't schedule something if 
there's no data there.

Mythweb won't display channels which have no value in the 'channum' field. This 
may indicate that part of your scanning process was incomplete, or that 
mythfilldatabase hasn't updated them properly.
