          <div>I think that you do not have a problem. After deleting
            and re-adding the video source you should be OK. Only
            channels that are attached to a video source are used. </div>
          <div>The reason that you see the old channels still being
            present in the channel table is that they are not deleted
            immediately but they are marked for deletion. The channels
            that are marked for deletion are deleted later by a
            housekeeping task when there are no recordings anymore that
            have been recorded from that channel.<br>
          </div>
          <div>This is done so that you still have the channel
            information when you play a recording from a channel that
            does not exist anymore.</div>
          <div>
            <div>FYI, look at the field "deleted" and when that has a
              date/time then the channel will be deleted in due course.</div>
