Counting the tabs (so as to account for empty fields) it is indeed the
visible field that is different.  Which doesn't really change the point
of my original question.  Why make an existing channel invisible only to
add the exact same channel, again?

And why is data being lost for channels that don't change before and
after the scan?

And additionally now, why are not all channels being found?  I have
channels that my TV sees (using it's much, much more simple "scan
channels" single click interface) that myth doesn't, and yet dvbscan on
the exact same hardware is seeing.

Why is this whole process so seriously complicated and just not working?
 Why can't I just have a single button "scan channels" like my TV does
and have it find _all_ of the available channels?
