Sounds like your provider (cable/satellite company) has shuffled around 
channels?  If so, and if all they only switched them around (rather than 
delete some and add some in different locations), you can just edit the 
channel name, call sign, and/or number and (critically) the XMLTV ID in 
mythtv-setup, then run a mythfilldatabase --dd-grab-all to fix it.
