Changing existing card inputs, deleting anything,
or scanning for channels may not work.

Maybe it would be worth revising the WARNING message to include reference to Front-end or MythWeb Channel changes also requiring a 
backend restart?

I also was not aware of this and at least flagging it there will be seen by many before they get around to making channel changes?
