I'm no kind of MythTV adept, but mightn't it have been a better option to hide rather than to delete those channels? This just occurs to me since I recently hid certain Spanish-language channels that appear in my line-up. Perhaps that would have allowed guide data to remain available? Just a thought.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, perhaps; and, with hindsight, the probability of this being the better choice seems higher.</div><div><br></div><div>I did not do it then primarily because there were hundreds of unwanted duplicates and the UI for deselecting them was already cumbersome enough for deletion. It required a lot more keypresses per entry for hiding. How much nicer it would be if you could just mark or unmark channels with a single click per selection, and then globally say "I want these deleted, or hidden, or whatever". I would have tried hiding if it had been less awkward.</div></div></div></div>
