table, and compared them.  The only difference between the two was the
recordid, and the station.  For Monk, the station='Channel 36' on the 1st
backup, and station='USA' on the 2nd backup.

As a test, I did a %s/'Channel 36'/'USA'/g on the 1st database dump,
recreated the mythconverg database, and restored that dump file.  Not only
did Monk now appear in the Upcoming recordings, but so did Psych, and a few
otthers.

Applying that same search/replace method to the other remaining channels
resolved the problem.  It was just a process of updating the old station id
to reflect the new station id.

Thank again for the assistance Mike.  I think I'm all set now :)

Hi Mike, I believe I have resolved the problem.&nbsp; First let me say that I did follow your suggestions of deleting all video sources, and recreating them from within mythtv-setup.&nbsp; This fixed all of my issues, except for the Upcoming Recordings.&nbsp; It fixed the channel issues in the same way that --do-channel-update from mythfilldatabase did.
 The problem with the Upcoming recordings was a little more difficult to resolve.&nbsp; If I deleted an entry from the recording schedule, and recreated it (verbatim on the mythweb page), the entry would then display in the upcoming recordings section.&nbsp; So I took a backup of the database, removed and recreated an entry in Scheduled recordings, then took another backup of the database.
 From there, I searched the two files for the INSERT entry in the record table, and compared them.&nbsp; The only difference between the two was the recordid, and the station.&nbsp; For Monk, the station=&#39;Channel 36&#39; on the 1st backup, and station=&#39;USA&#39; on the 2nd backup.
 As a test, I did a %s/&#39;Channel 36&#39;/&#39;USA&#39;/g on the 1st database dump, recreated the mythconverg database, and restored that dump file.&nbsp; Not only did Monk now appear in the Upcoming recordings, but so did Psych, and a few otthers.
 Applying that same search/replace method to the other remaining channels resolved the problem.&nbsp; It was just a process of updating the old station id to reflect the new station id. Thank again for the assistance Mike.&nbsp; I think I&#39;m all set now :)

 &gt; &gt; Before I did the &#39;--do-channel-updates&#39;, I had 3 shows scheduled to record &gt; for today, and a few for next week.&nbsp;&nbsp;Now, some are not listed at all, and &gt; some are deactiavted, stating that the show does not match the current

 &gt; Cancelling the show, and then re-adding it does resolve the problem. &gt; However, some shows are in off season right now, so if I removed them from &gt; the scheduled recordings list, I won&#39;t be able to re-add them.
 This will happen if you have mostly &quot;this channel&quot; recording rules and you change the callsigns of your channels (which is why you should probably have mostly &quot;any channel&quot; rules). 
It can also happen if you have 2 copies of channels in the DB (which can also prevent recordings from occurring correctly despite what &quot;Upcoming Recordings&quot; says).&nbsp;&nbsp;If that&#39;s the case, going back to the &quot;Delete all
 video sources&quot; approach and reconfiguring should fix it (but it&#39;s critical that you reconfigure correctly so you don&#39;t get the same &quot;broken&quot; configuration afterwards). Mike _______________________________________________
