I have two channels, with children, but when I got to systems->click on my system->change subscriptions, and it says it will give me a list of channels, the list contains exactly one entry: (none, disable service).

Ok, what arch is the system you have registered and what is the arch of 
the channel you want to subscribe it too. The above situation often 
occurs if your channel is i386 and your system is an x86_64 based system 
or the other way around.
