Pretty sure.

Right.

Indeed.  And how about all of the channels that were there before and
after the scan where the callsign and name were simply dropped?  This is
the kind of loss-of-information (that shouldn't happen) that I feared
and that I am now going to have to spend hours restoring this
unnecessarily lost information.

The result of this little venture proves that (digital, at least)
channel [re-]scanning is _NOT_ idempotent.  You WILL LOSE INFORMATION
that you should not lose for channels that do not change before and
after the scan.  ~sigh~
