Hi

I had the same problem with Film4 etc. What worked for me was

Deleting the Freeview 'Video Source' and recreating it.

Assigning the 'Input connections' to the new source.

Deleting all the Channels and doing a new Channel Scan.

This got me to a state where now and next programmes were appearing
in the guide. To get the full 7 days I had to switch off the EIT
scanning with 

echo "update channel set useonairguide=0;" | mysql mythconverg;
/etc/init.d/mythbackend restart

a few hours later I switched the scanning back on and the guide
quickly populated as normal. Oh yes, I ran mythfilldatabase at
probably every step.

I have no idea how much of the above was necessary and I did not take
notes so may have forgotten important steps.

(I am running Gentoo/mythtv-0.23.1_p27077)

HTH
