Basically, change your line-up on zap2it, save it, run
mythfilldatabase. It will have both schedules in there until the old
data falls off, but if you want to remove that, just truncate your
program table (I think there used to be a button for this in
mythtv-setup but a recent post from Michael on this subject in the
archives dispelled this IIRC) before running mythfilldatabase to get the
new schedule.
