[mythtv-users] Documentation needs update in section 20.9

[Kevin]

        I have also been trying to get rid of a channel from my database using the documented approach without success. It seems that I have two channel 13 entries (CKCO and WOKR). When I following the documentation and use 'channid' as '1013' it gets rid of the one but not the other. Is it safe to use 'channum' as '13' to get rid of the other? Otherwise how can I get rid of the second channel 13?
