You're supposed to run "<grabber> --configure" and only select the channels you 
want. This both saves it wasting time and bandwidth collecting data for 
channels and will prevent mythfilldatabase trying to insert them into the 
database.

Incidentally, I'm guessing you're using an analogue source? In the latest 
versions of MythTV mythfilldatabase won't insert channels for digital sources.
