I'll try that tonight.  I just went through the process of using the 
HDHR config GUI application to figure out what channels it sees, and 
matching up the corresponding XMLTV IDs.  So by deleting them will that 
mess any of that up?  As long as I don't touch the Input Connections or 
Video Sources I should be fine, correct?
