Because 0.17 now has automatic channel detection - that includes both the scanner in the setup program and automatic detection of new channels as they appear. If you delete a channel then the next time you tune to another channel on that multiplex Myth will detect the missing channel and add it.
Ah, that would explain my problems with that, then. This isn't really a very good feature. You see, there are channels in the free-to-air multiplexes in Sweden that aren't actually available - there's SVT Extra (XMLTV ID extra.svt.se) and a few text channels. These get added in MythTV, but when I channel-surf to them (not knowing when they get added, I assume that going UP from my last channel would take me back to my first 'real' channel), the back-end can't find them and so the frontend locks up for 15 seconds. This happens even if I set them as not visible - they disappear from the TV Guide, but they are still surfable.
Furthermore, I can't easily get the backend out of it since it does not revert back to a functioning channel by itself and if I try to start the frontend in View TV mode, it just locks for 15 seconds and exits to the main menu again. Restarting the backend works sometimes, but a few times, something has changed the Start Channel value to the most recent bad channel, so I'll have to run mythsetup.
How about a blacklist for deleted channels? This could probably be implemented by letting the Visible flag be more pervasive in the system, and not just in the Guide.
