[mythtv-users] mythfilldatabase creating nonexistant channels - cached?

So I have a strange issue.  I have 2 channels that keep getting added
to my guide when I run mythfilldatabase, but these two channels do not
exist in my schedulesdirect.org lineup.  I believe they used to exist
in an old lineup.  What's weird is it successfully gets a program
listing for the channels even though the id does not exist in the
lineup.
In the past when I encountered similar weirdness I would chose "re-add
lineup", on schedulesdirect, but that option no longer exists.

In particular:

mythfilldatabase --refresh-day 0


results in:

This adds 163 with id 16123
and 52 with the same id 16123

Schedules direct has:
163  26046 TVLANDP Nick at Nite's TV Land (Pacific)

Note the different id

The result is two channel 163's in my db one correct and one
incorrect, and a channel 52 that shouldn't be there.

Any clue as to how to fix this?  Are the 16123's cached somewhere?  Thanks.

Ron
