Defined "hide".  There is a "visible" flag for a
channel, but it just makes the channel not visible
from the guide (and selection by the BUSQ, as
I recall).  Someone may still select it explicitly.

btw, encryption (for any particular channel) may,
in some cases, come and go.  And while your
provider may always encrypt a particular channel,
that is not a universal implementation, so some
do what the channel to be available for future
access.

As discussed recently in another thread, while
visible=0 is often adequate, there have been
some wishes (but no patches) for a more
complete "hide" capability (although apparently
no one actually wants it enough to invest effort
in writing/submitting any code).
