You could delete all program information with a MySQL
query, which would force mythfilldatabase to reload
all 14 days of it.  A command like:
delete from program;

That command will delete all program information from
the database.  It is highly destructive though, and
may cause other unforseen complications that I'm not
aware of.  I leave it to you if you wish to try to
localize it to a date range or channel range, etc.

YMMV, back up your database first, etc, etc.
