I happen to be in SF, so I can tell you these xmltvid's:
5.1 19572
9.1 24344
9.2 30507
9.3 35278
9.4 34168
9.5 34116
I get guide data for all of these. Make sure they are in fact selected
in your schedules direct lineup.

1. BACK UP YOUR DATABASE
2. mysql> DELETE FROM channel WHERE channum BETWEEN 84.0 AND 119.9;
This comes with all the usual warnings of not messing with your database
manually and not taking advice to do it because you might screw
something else up, etc, etc.
