[mythtv-users] MythTV channel listings skew problem.

I'm having a problem with the channel listings where after a day or so, the 
program data for some channels gets skewed.  The listing for one channel 
appears on another and so on.  The only way to temporarily correct this is 
to delete the entire channel database, redownload the lineups, and then 
re-run mythfilldatabase (just running mythfilldatabase does nothing).  In a 
day or so, the problem returns but not at the same time for every channel 
and it doesn't happen on every channel.

For example, if I look ahead about 2 days I can see where channels 12, 13, 
and 14 start to skew.  However, channels 40, 41 and 42 are fine at the same 
point in time -- they start to skew later on.  Here's what the listing looks 
like when it starts to skew:

12
TBS
MLB Baseball: Atlanta Braves at San Diego Padres 	NO DATA 	Local News

13
NEWS
Local News  	Midnight Miracles

14
WACX
Charlie Rose 	SIGN OFF


"Local News" should always be on channel 13 and "Midnight Miracles" should 
be on channel 14.

Any idea how to correct this most annoying problem?
