Good information.  Now that I know my testing period in 8-2019 till 
9-2019. I should be able to at least come up with a plan.

I use tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite to grab my EPG data from SchedulesDirect.

So I'd guess that when I'm told the channels change I can do the following:

 1. delete all tuners, video sources, and input connections.
 2. setup HDHR Quatro tuners again
 3. external to mythtv-setup, I can follow the XMLTV/mythtv wiki and
    initialize the XMLTV stuff like it's a new build
 4. Setup video sources like a new build
 5. setup input connections like a new build and scan the first tuner
    for channels
 6. edit channels I don't want to see in the guide

Did I miss something?
