1. Log into zap2it and create a new lineup using something other than
OTA ( I used digital cable since i use an HD tuner, but others may
match better for you). Only select those channels that exist in your
OTA lineup.

2. run mythfilldatabase

3. Look at a day that previously had no listings in your guide. Note
which channels still don't have data.

4. Go to zap2its online tv listings (using the same source as the
lineup you created). For each of the channels missing data. Mouse over
(or click) the call sign of the channel that should match your channel
with missing data. in the query string of the link there should be
something like stnNum=XXXXX, write down the XXXXX part (your new
xmltvid for that channel).

5. Edit the channel in your lineup to use the new xmltvid. I used
mythweb channel info screen (Under settings), but i believe you could
do the same thing just updating the xmltvid of the channel table.

After doing these steps i had all my listings (well i was missing one
channel that wasn't in any cable lineup, but i never watched it
anyways, so oh well). I also ran mythfilldatabase --refreshall, but i
don't know it that was really needed.

Log in to zap2it account and choose to create a new lineup (OTA one
had been deleted by the system). Instead of choosing OTA i choose
digital cable (Since I am using an HD tuner,  you may have better luck
with just cable or satellite). I then selected only those channels
which I had in my OTA lineup and saved it. Back on my myth box i ran
mythfilldatabase and then i went to look at my listings for days which
I had no data for before. At this point i made a list of all the
channels that still didn't have data. Next i went to the zap2it
website to view online listings for digital cable.
