Where did you change it, recorded table or oldrecorded table? And how did you change it (I assume direct database manipulation)? And how did you know what the correct programid was going to be (just curious, I would love to know where programid's come from and if there is consistency between broadcasters / countries)?

There should not be any lag other than you would need to trigger a reschedule by either adding a new schedule recording or by calling mythutil --resched. If you don't trigger a reschedule somehow I assume the change would never get noticed.
