If you're getting your EPG via the dvb stream then I don't think you
need to run mythfilldatabase.  The guide information should just
arrive - eventually.

If you're using xmltv to get the information then you need to match
the xmltvid in your channel settings with that used by the xmltv
guide.

Having said that I find channel set-up very frustrating on my dvb-t
card.  I tried to swap the channel numbers around, to get a sensible
order on the programme guide, and ended up breaking it and having to
rescan.

Good Luck
