It won't "fix" channel names since it figures if they're different,
you've renamed them. There's an option (--do-channel-updates I think,
but I don't have access to the 'net or to mythfilldatabase right now),
that will tell mythfilldatabase to "fix" your channels. So,
mythfilldatabase --help
(to verify the option name) followed by
mythfilldatabase --do-channel-updates
