I never imported the channels.conf it was just for testing.
I also already deleted the channels and dtv_multiplex entries earlier 
and then did a rescan it didn't help.

I have attached a log of the backend with the log setting of -v record.
The first channel tuned to is an analog channel but the second is KTTWDT 
a 720p HD channel.
I had to compress the log file are the list server would reject it.
