I think you mean cbfK (cbkF is Sky Movies Classics).
I'll rephrase my original response:
Seems this channel isn't in the list of channels Atlas supply for Freeview.
(They list it for Sky HD/SD & Freesat only)

As I've already said, unlike the rt grabber, these data are picked up in real time from the Atlas database. If it's not in the list then it's not there.

Again, nothing I can do about it. I do not maintain the list of channels.

I do not feel it is appropriate for a "grabber" to be inventing data where none exist.
[snip other issues with MythTV import]
You need to take these up with the MythTV project. The boundary stops at creating a programme listings XML file which conforms to the xmltv.dtd - any issues with importing the data into other software is obviously outside of my control.

Yes that's the list of all possible PA genres. But note that MetaBroadcast can (and do) add their own top-level genres which aren't in that list.
