And, for analog sources, use the "--remove-new-channels" argument to 
mythfilldatabase.

Note, too, that with this argument, you can use "mythfilldatabase 
--only-update-channels" to pull in all of the available analog channels, 
then use mythtv-setup (with the backend shut down) to delete any 
channels you don't want, then run "mythfilldatabase 
--remove-new-channels" to a) pull down guide data for only the channels 
you've configured and b) remove the extra channels from your lineup at 
http://labs.zap2it.com/ .
