Don't run mythfilldb until you've sorted out the channels. I'm
guessing that you haven't got a valid "channel 3" entry. i.e one
created by the scan.

Also because you're in Oz (cricket anyone :P) you probably need to
create multiple transports and scan each one to get a fully populated
channel list.
