Those brackets in your channels.conf may be causing problems.  Try 
replacing a few entries with nicer characters, then try azap on those 
channels and see if it works.  i.e.

test1:609000000:QAM_256:0:2049:1
test2:609000000:QAM_256:0:2113:3
[0002]:609000000:QAM_256:0:2177:2

...

azap -r test1  (assuming the channels.conf file is in ~/.azap/channels.conf

Also, if you are going over cable then many of your channels may be 
encrypted and you won't be able to see most of them.  I wrote a small 
script that facilitates checking for encrypted channels, I can post it 
if you need it.
