I changed around my XMLTVIDs, but I still had old data in the Four and
C4 listings.  I found that the only way I could get mythfilldatabase
to update listings it already had in the database from previous runs
was to manually get a copy of the EPG .xml file and then manually run
mythfilldatabase (from the MythTV user) using the --file <sourceid>
<xmlfile> option.

I did this a couple of days ago and it has worked fine since then, but
could not let anyone know until today as my SMTP server box
motherboard died and I have only just got it going again.
