Further investigation shows that it IS the xml file I'm downloading. Most of the extra channels are the ones I didn't bother to put the xmltv data in for since I don't subscribe to them, the other extra channels are due to an occation change in spelling - 'E' is sometimes 'E!' etc. Is there a simple way to delete all entries in the channel table that have a null channum field? (I know nothing about mysql).
