Running mythfilldatabase--regardless of options--before you select a 
lineup for a video source is a no-op.  mythfilldatabase should complete 
"successfully," saying that there's nothing to do because your Video 
Source(s) is misconfigured.  That said, it seems that your channel 
lineup is properly specified and you just need to add channels to it:

2012-10-10 13:02:34.624980 I [2853/2853] CoreContext filldata.cpp:600 
(Run) - Updating source #1 (cox) with grabber schedulesdirect1
2012-10-10 13:02:34.625235 I [2853/2853] CoreContext filldata.cpp:620 
(Run) - No channels are configured to use grabber.

(and until you do, running mythfilldatabase will just exit successfully 
saying there's nothing to do).
