Are you able to watch these 2 channels in LiveTV? I would guess that
the channels are not correctly setup to allow MythTV to tune to them -
the error states "Failed to set channel to ." - note the lack of
channel identifier in the error. Are these channels using an analogue
tuner, a DVB tuner, or a direct (S-Video/composite) input?
