If you're using an "internal" digital tuner (i.e. directly using the
tuner from MythTV versus using an external set-top box that outputs
analog to an encoder, like the HD-PVR or PVR-x50), you need to scan for
channels and then map the Schedules Direct XMLTV IDs to the channels
found by the scan using the mythtv-setup or MythWeb channel editor. You
/never/ use "Fetch channels from listings source" with digital tuners.
See http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034 for
how to clean up your current configuration ("Delete all video sources")
and then re-create your Video Source, then re-connect your input(s),
then scan for channels, then use the channel editor to set the XMLTV
IDs, then run mythfilldatabase from the command line.
