You've likely got the wrong provider selected. Re-run the backend
setup, and under 'Video Sources', try a different provider. For
instance, for my zip code, I get a list with the following providers:
Comcast - Cherry Hill
Comcast - Cherry Hill - Cable Ready
Comcast - Cherry Hill - Digital
The first two give me subtly different channel lineup for regular cable;
the last one is obviously for Comcast Digital Cable in my area. Only
the last one will list any channels above 125. Double-check yours.
You can see a list of providers by using the command:
tv_grab_na --configure --list-providers --zipcode=<zip>
(If you're not in NA, I'm sure your grabber has something similar if
it's XMLTV-based)

That's the searchable web archive of the mythtv & mythv-users mailing
lists. (http://www.gossamer-threads.com/archive/MythTV_C2/)
