IIRC, that's Myth's way of telling you the channels were found during a
scan but haven't been associated with a channel with an xmltvid in the
database (and, therefore, that you'll likely have to perform additional
setup before you get guide data--other than EIT info--for them). You
can just change them, but you probably want to finish configuring them...
