No, not really. However the symptoms are consistent with having
gone thru setup again and changing your video source. If your
video source was "1" and you made a change so that it is now "2"
but your "channel" table was never cleared, your EPG would show
all the empty listing for 1000 + channum for the leftover channel
entries whereas the listings are all 2000 + channum. Browse mode
would work because it lists just the channels for the current
video source.

The surest way to fix it is to backup your database:

Next, once you are sure you have a good backup:

mysql> delete from channel;

then run "mythfilldatabase" again.
