I got flummoxed by this one time until I discovered that mythweb won't display 
channels where the 'channum' field has no value. This happens occasionally - 
although I should point out I'm in the UK where things happen differently.

Check your database, the 'channel' table, see what values the various fields 
have been given. That may give you some clue as to what's happening.
