On my cable system (Cox in Rhode Island), MythTV doesn't seem to pick up the
xmltvid values for the digital stations -- at least, not for the unencrypted
locals that Cox carries. I don't know if this is a MythTV issue, a Zap2It
issue, or some sort of interaction, and I also don't know if it's the same
problem you're seeing. The solution for me was to locate the xmltvid values
manually (using http://www.zap2it.com, getting a listing for the provider,
and viewing the link for a station; the xmltvid is the part of the URL that's
identified as "stnNum"). They can then be plugged into mythbackend using
either MythWeb or mythtv-setup.
