that's because the xml channel ids are different :)
(I have this problem too)
A re-grab won't clear it (but that's cool - you may run one grabber for
some channels, and the other for the rest.)
One answer is to either clear out all data on a 'setup' or mythtv-setup
for KnoppMyth and packages.
(I can't/won't 'cos I don't have 5 days to regrab from the _rt grabber ;) )
Or...
I've deleted records from the channels table.
I assume that old entries in the programs table will eventually die...
OTOH, I may have poisoned myth and not know it yet
btw, mysqlcc is your friend (well, it's my friend anyway)
