That will just be a limitation of the program you used to edit the

Do you have the <source name>.xmltv file in /home/<mythtv
user>/.mythtv?  If you do not have a "channel" line in the .xmltv file
for a channel, that is the error message you get.  This is what I have
in my /home/stephen/.mythtv/FreeviewHD.xmltv file:

channel=tv1.freeviewnz.tv
channel=tv2.freeviewnz.tv
channel=tv3.freeviewnz.tv
channel=bravo.freeviewnz.tv
channel=maori-tv.freeviewnz.tv
channel=tv1-plus1.freeviewnz.tv
channel=tv2-plus1.freeviewnz.tv
channel=tv3-plus1.freeviewnz.tv
channel=bravo-plus1.freeviewnz.tv
channel=duke.freeviewnz.tv
channel=edge-tv.freeviewnz.tv
channel=prime.freeviewnz.tv
channel=choice.freeviewnz.tv
channel=hgtv.freeviewnz.tv
channel=shopping-channel.freeviewnz.tv
channel=parliament.freeviewnz.tv
