I ran into this and used "--do-channel-updates --source-id 2
--max-days 1", where "2" was the source id of the new channel lineup,
and it added the channels for the new source.  After that, a regular
mythfilldatabase would add new data to the existing channels.  I used
max-days just to get it done quickly to verify that it worked.  I'm
not sure whether this is strictly necessary.

Try combining --source-id [source id of Local] with --do-channel-updates
