Looks like you didn't set the serviceid for your channels?

Do yourself a favor and forget about "mythfilldatabase --manual" and 
entering data manually. Do a truncate on the channel and dtv_multiplex 
tables and let the channel scan from setup create the channels in the 
db. It will automatically set mplexid, transportid, serviceid and 
everything else needed.

If you need to fix up the channels somehow (change names/numbers, add 
icons, set xmltvids, whatever) it should be perfectly okay to modify the 
channels afterwards but you need to let the channel scanner create them.
