This is actually what I did to fix an unrelated problem.  It'll
require logging in to mysql and deleting it by hand, though.  Or at
least, that's what I ended up doing.

Here's what I did:
1) Stop the frontend and backend processes.
2) Log into mysql using mythconverg.
3) delete from program;
possible 4) delete from channel;
5) restart backend and run mythfilldatabase  --refresh-all

Step 4 is what I had to do to get rid of duplicate channels caused by
not following the guidelines for updating from DD to SD.  You may not
need to.

Also, this is from memory, so be kind if the syntax is not completely accurate.
