I have a similar problem. I scheduled a few new shows and specified 
'This Channel Only 241'. When I look at the scheduled recordings it 
shows the new show on Channel 6 (same callsign as 241 but not HD). When 
I re-run mythfilldatabase it updates and shows on the correct channel 
241. I had a similar thing happen when it showed both shows, the Active 
one on 6 and the one on 241 as Deactivated. I clicked on 'Activate' on 
the 241 show, but then the screen refreshed it still showed the one on 6 
as being Active and the one on 241 as Deactivated. I had to re-run 
mythfilldatabase to get it to show correctly. I did not try restarting 
mythbackend yet.
