| Here's what worked for me:

Actually, I spoke too soon.

All the new channels were added but the replaced channels remained.
To be concrete, Rogers replaced 3 channels:
37: CNNH replaced by BBCW
48: SPCCAN replaced by TCMC
55 CNBCC replaced by AMCCAN

Zap2it got this right.

MythTV thinks both sets of channels co-exist (according the the
channel guide).

MythWeb thinks only the old ones exist (I think that it takes only one
channel per number, and the last one wins).

How can I get these old channels deleted?

I tried a bunch of things including
	mythfilldatabase --do-channel-updates
	mythfilldatabase --remove-new-channels
	mythtvsetup: remove channel

Here's what I ended up doing.  The following procedure will eliminate
the dead channels from the display of the Program Guide.

shutdown myth backend

run mythtvsetup

select "5. channel Editor"

change "sort mode" to "Channel Number" (makes it easier to find the
	channel in the list)

for each channel to be deleted:

    move to the channel from "Channels" pane

    press return, which gets you to "Cannel Options - Common" page

    unselect (untick) the "visible" checkbox

    click next

    click finish

repeat for each channel

ESC key to leave Channel Editor

ESC key to exit mythtvsetup

start up myth backend
