Did you create a M3U file with your channels and point to it in
your config of the recorder in mythtv-setup.

I still have a patch from Mickael to apply, but I don't think that
will address your problem. I plan to write up a description of how
to use the new IP recorder before 0.21 is released, but I haven't
gotten around to it yet. But there are a couple README's in
libs/libmythtv/iptv, the important thing is that the UDP URL
format has changed, have a look at "README.UDP".
