The cable company appears to not be putting the video stream in the
PMT. If this is the case, MythTV won't be able to tune the channel.
It is also possible that you used channels.conf import to add the
channels to your database. If so, delete all your channels (using
mythtv-setup, so that it deletes the matching dtv_multiplex rows
as well) and do an internal scan, or do a new channels.conf import
(this should work properly as of last week).

If the problem is not fixed by rescanning, then send me the output
of "mythbackend -v record" when you tune to one of these problem
channels.
