So, I'm even more confused now.

I changed my 63.54 channel on hdhomerun to give it an xmlid of 99999 (that
was days ago). I re-ran mythfilldatabase, and myth-backend still thinks that
the channel has comedy central stuff:

Upcoming recordings shows:

                 The Daily Show     63.54 -
     hdhomerun-1 With Jon Stewart   KBS World


What's more interesting is that
http://mythtv/mythweb/tv/list
shows a mix of 'NO DATA' and 'daily show' (see screenshot).

Did I get some kind of database bug where there is some stale data that isn't 
being removed?

Right. I ended up putting 99999 as an xmlid in subchannels that are
mistakenly being identified as other channels (and for which I don't have
guide data).

Is it fair to file a bug to not have it do this on subchannels?
63.54 != 63. Matching 63.54 with an xmlid of 63 from SD can never be good.

Yep, I am :)

Mmmh, but I still don't know why my DB has incorrect data despite my xmlid
being set to 99999 for the bad channels.

Any clue?

Thanks,
Marc
