Ah, wait.  If you have a digital capture card, you should /never/ use 
"Fetch channels..."  It's only for use with analog tuners or encoders 
using external tuners because we need a lot more information for digital 
tuning than is available from the listings.  For a digital capture card, 
you need to do a channel scan.  Then, you map XMLTV IDs from Schedules 
Direct with the channels created by the scan.

See http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034 for 
a(n old, but mostly-accurate) description.
