Seriously?  This is highly disruptive.  There has to be a better way.

When you wipe out channels from the channel table, previously recorded
programs in the recorded table will have dangling references to
channels that don't exist.  When you add new channels it may reuse
chanid's previously in use, basically scrambling the channel ids on
every recorded program.

Why is this necessary?
