I think that's intentional, although I was under the impression that
unchecking the Visible flag would remove it from the guide and also avoid
it when using the Channel up/down buttons in LiveTV. In other words, the
only way you could get to it in LiveTV would be to type in the channel
number directly. But, it might be different because you actually do have an
input which can tune it.

As far as your original question, I found in the archives that you and I
had discussed this exact issue a year and a half ago. Peter Bennett had the
best answer here though:

Basically, create another video source and link it to the same
SchedulesDirect lineup, then edit as needed.
