The *best* solution is to delete them and also delete them from your  
listing source (schedules direct, I assume). That way you're not using  
up a bunch of processor/bandwidth on channels for which you have no  
use. If you don't delete them from your source, you can run  
mythfilldatabse with the --remove-new-channels flag.

--remove-new-channels
    When using DataDirect, ask mythfilldatabase to
    remove new channels (those not in the database)
    from the DataDirect lineup.  These channels are
    removed from the lineup as if you had done so
    via the DataDirect website's Lineup Wizard, but
    may be re-added manually and incorporated into
    MythTV by running mythfilldatabase without this
    option.  New channels are automatically removed
    for DVB and HDTV sources that use DataDirect.
