(Sorry for the gaps in following up on this. I generally only have time to
work on it on the weekends.)

I tried mythfilldatabase --do-channel-updates. It did not fix my problem.

I also looked at https://github.com/garybuhrmaster/MythUtil. The scripts
aren't documented so I'm not 100% sure what they do.
One,  MythUtil-Channel-XMLTV-getLineup, looks like it could do something I
want. But I don't know if this is a standalone script or a new option for
mythutil that isn't yet documented in --help. If the latter, do I call it
via mythutil --Channel-XMLTV-getLineup?

Assuming that doesn't work I'm stuck. Should I delete everything from the
../.mythtv and ../.xmltv directories and try setup again? My system is
*useless* as it is.
