I hadn't done that, so I tried it.  That didn't seem to help either.
I tried rescanning the channels, then re-editing the channels,
and then re-running "mythfilldatabase --refresh-all".  The
channels still have the wrong name and wrong program info.

For example, when I watch live TV, I can see that channel 15
is the Discovery Channel.  Schedules Direct says Discovery
is channel 29 with an xmltv id of 12500.  So in the
channel editor for channel 15, I changed the name from
Public Access to Discovery and changed the xmltv id to
12500.  Then I exited the channel editor and ran

"mythfilldatabase --refresh-all

Then I started mythfrontend live tv, changed to the tuner
connected to comcast and changed to channel 15.  It still
thinks it's Public Access and doesn't have program guide
data for the Discovery channel either.  I tried rebooting
after this whole process and that didn't seem to make a
difference either.  Any other ideas about what I'm doing
wrong?

Thanks,
