If channels do not have XMLTV IDs, mythfilldatabase can not associate
downloaded listings with them (either when run manually or
automatically). However, the channels should still appear in the
program guide, just with no program information.

Configuring the grabber should have added the XMLTV IDs to the
channels. Are you able to run the grabber manually and produce a valid
XML file containing listings? I would fix up the XMLTV IDs and see if
this helps at all.

Also, are all of your channels marked as visible?
