Yah, the problem was that it seemed I had _two_ sets of listings in the
database for chanid 1045. One with a station name of TBS and one named TBSP.

|
| tv_grab_na --config-file ~/.mythtv/tmp.xmltv --days 1 --offset $i
- --output tmp.xml
| mythfilldatabase --file 1 $i tmp.xml
|
| (where $i = 0 ... 7)

| well rerun "setup" to clear and repopulate all program/channel
| settings.  Either way, you'll probably want to review/redo your
| scheduled recordings.

Very helpful info, thanks!

Within the past hour I reran setup and answered yes to clearing
program/channel information. Afterwards I made sure the xmltv file was
correct. (Interestingly, even though I had to re-enter my provider info
in mythtvsetup, it didn't stomp over my customized xmltv file; I was
surprised but pleased. I let mythfilldatabase run, took about 30
minutes. I now appear to have correct listing information with no
duplicates, and all my saved/scheduled programs remain intact.

Thanks again!
