[mythtv-users] is (clearqam) channel scanning idempotent (it seems not)?

So here's a good example of a "loss of information" that I cannot see
any good reason for.
Before the channel re-scan:
chanid channum freqid sourceid callsign name icon finetune
videofilters xmltvid recpriority contrast brightness colour hue
tvformat visible outputfilters useonairguide mplexid serviceid
tmoffset atsc_major_chan atsc_minor_chan last_record default_authority
commmethod
4099 86-2 86 2 CICA TV Ontario (CICA) 0 10119 0 32768 32768
32768 32768 1 0 69 2 0 0 0 2011-06-18 02:30:02 -1
After:
chanid channum freqid sourceid callsign name icon finetune
videofilters xmltvid recpriority contrast brightness colour hue
tvformat visible outputfilters useonairguide mplexid serviceid
tmoffset atsc_major_chan atsc_minor_chan last_record default_authority
commmethod
4099 86-2 86 2 0 10119 0 32768 32768 32768 32768 1 0 69 2 0 0 0
2011-06-18 02:30:02 -1
As you can see, everything is exactly the same except that the
rescanning dropped the callsign and name. Same for a few other channels.
When the scan was done it told me something about channels being removed
and asked if I wanted to remove them or set them invisible. I did the
latter, to see what the differences were. Here's an example of one,
first the before:
2772 66-112 66 2 MOMUSIC Muchmore Music 0 18808 0 32768 32768
32768 32768 1 0 71 112 0 0 0 2011-08-01 16:00:02 -1
and after:
2772 _66-112 66 2 MOMUSIC Muchmore Music 0 18808 0 32768 32768
32768 32768 0 0 71 112 0 0 0 2011-08-01 16:00:02 -1
It seems that the "tvformat" was changed from 1 to 0. But also, this new
channel was added:
4111 66-112 66 2 NULL 0 32768 32768 32768 32768 1 0 71 112 0 0 0
0000-00-00 00:00:00 -1
which looks the same as the one that was previously there and then was
set to invisible by the new scan.
Any ideas what's going on here? These are the artifacts of rescanning
that make me fear doing it every time and drives me nuts resolving every
time.
Cheers,
b.
