MythTV does not use now/next.

You should make sure this is the only channel that has the useonairguide
flag set. You can set this in mythtv-setup in the Channel editor.

"fixups" are only used to extract additional information from the
description and other fields of the EIT data. Since you aren't getting
any data fixups are irrelevant.

Most likely you either imported a channels.conf instead of scanning
for channels within MythTV and so don't have the proper information
in your channel and dtv_multiplex tables, or the EIT scanning is
disabled; at either the video source or channel level. Alternatively
you could be wrong about that EPG channel having usable EIT information.

This is really a question for the user's mailing list right now,
once you're getting data we can help you write a fix up routine
if you need it.
