This might seem a silly question but you do have the channel number filled
in for the channel?

I'm talking about the channel number at the top of the *second* screen of
the channel setup in mythtv-setup - the channel number on the first screen
is only used to determine what you type in at the keyboard or the remote
to select the channel.

The second screen number is used to select the tuner channel number, or in
the case of an external changer, the value to pass to the changer script.
