I figured why I get this. tv_grab_au has a hard-coded source, so it is
fetching the same data for analog and digital (I have both tuners). I
modified the script to adjust the source based on the --configure-file
argument and now I do not get the stray channels generated.
My understanding is that if a channel is found in the guide data which
does not match any channel (in the SQL table 'channel') then a new
channel entry is created. I am not sure though.
