Rather than deleting them, try turning on "show favorites" and then 
select only the channels you want to see.  New channels added to the 
lineup should show up as non-favorite, and since you didn't actually 
delete the channels you don't want then they shouldn't be recreated.  
This is only a partial solution, however - mythfilldatabase will 
still get listings for any channel in your lineup, and will probably 
include them in the searches when filling the recording schedule.

The long-term solution is to find out why your XML download is 
including channels you don't want and eliminate them at the source.  
This is easy with tv_grab_na_dd and zap2it, but for other sources you 
may want to use the xmltv grabber's filter capability.
