You were using the full scan to delete channels?
Wouldn't it make more sense to add a "delete" buttons to the
existing transport scans that provide this functionality?

BTW I added this because I re-purposed a DVB HDTV source as a
V4L HDTV source and used the delete button with the rescan, 
but I couldn't tune to any of the channels... This is because
the DVB drivers use the center frequency to tune, while the V4L
drivers use the visual carrier frequency to tune, and the
scan was reusing the old transports. When I thought about it,
it is obvious that users expect a "Full Scan" that "Deletes" 
channels to be able to make a broken source work. If they were
doing a "Full Scan" on a fully working source they would probably
use the default "Minimal Updates", or at most "Rename to match".
