--refresh-today couldn't cause this to work differently. Most likely
you have a broken input connections configuration that's causing strange
behaviors.

Best approach for cleaning up everything after a major change is the
video sources part of:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034 . It's
the only way that completely prevents breaking your configuration due to
improperly dealing with old channel info.
The only way to remove a channel from MythTV configuration is to delete
it using the MythTV channel editor (select channel and hit D). The
mythfilldatabase argument--if you read the description you posted--has
nothing to do with the MythTV channel configuration. It's all about the
Schedules Direct configuration.
