Chances are that's completely unnecessary and you just need to ensure 
you have the proper XMLTV ID for the channel (and edit its name, number, 
and call sign as desired).  However, if you have multiple copies of the 
channel, you will have to do other cleanup.

No.  This will almost never do anything useful--and gives 
mythfilldatabase permission to do things that are dangerous.

No, not with Schedules Direct.  With SD, you should use --dd-grab-all.
