Edit ~/.xmltv/tv_grab_na.conf (or whatever tv_grab you're using) and replace
lines like this:
channel: 13 WNET
with
not channel: 13 WNET

You'll have to manually go into the database and delete the channels you've told
xmltv to stop recording though, otherwise you'll have a bunch of channels with
blank program data.
