I had specifically deleted a number of channels. They're reappearing as 
the days pass - i.e. I can now hit 16 and get the incredibly handy QVC 
shopping channel I deleted last week - ditto the extraordinarily helpful 
(encrypted) porno channel, Television X, or the not so pervy but equally 
encrypted Cartoon Network. I did *nothing* to make them appear, and have 
found myself removing them more than once. It was handy for More4 to add 
itself as it did, but that doesn't mean I want the corpses of Top-Up TV 
to return. Unless someone feels like giving out a SoftCAM 101, which I 
doubt they do.

The hardware is a 1.7Ghz Pentium M, with two Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T's 
(cx88xx-based model), and a GeForce 5200, connected via VGA, to a 26" 
LCD HDTV.
