If you don't tell it to use the EIT data when you configure the
card/source/whatever.... then it ignores the setting in the channels
table.  You shouldn't need to clear those.

Not sure why you would need to delete your capture devices and input
connections because your BE went off line.  I think you need to
explain/determine why your BE is going down in the first place.

Deleting the devices/connections is typically only done if your making
changes to the system (new capture devices, new provider, etc) and
want to be sure that you cleared out everything that might interfere
with the new changes your introducing.  I don't recommend it as the
first step in resolving any issue.

When you say your system is going "off line" what do you mean?
