channels.config is created from "scan"-output. If scan does not work 
properly you should check the following:

* Are there digital free-to-air stations available in Brazil? Is your 
dish directed properly?
* Is the skystar2 driver loaded properly? dmesg should show some info 
about this.
* Is the right frontend driver loaded? If you have an (old) rev2.3 card 
you need mt312, for newer (2.6) cards stv0299.

If all of the above is met, running scan should give you a list of all 
available stations. After running for some time (could take several 
minutes) it should put out this list to stdout, you should redirect this 
output to a file "channels.conf".

Hope that helps,

Niklas
