[mythtv-users] Zombie channel keeps coming back

Some time ago my local Comcast changed their lineup from BBCA to BBCAP
(Pacific time zone feed) while keeping the same channel. I only noticed it
when recordings were wrong/offset by 3 hours. So, I went into
SchedulesDirect and saw that BBCAP was deselected so I enabled it and and
saved the lineup (and confirmed the change stuck). I use 2 SD lineups and
ensured the change was made for both. The BBCA channel does not appear in
any of my SD lineups, even as deactivated--it shows only the BBCAP channel.
I then used MythWeb to delete the old BBCA channel and confirmed it was
actually gone. However, the next time mythfilldatabase ran, it re-added the
BBCA channel. I can't figure out why it would have done that if it was not
even shown in SchedulesDirect. Here's the relevant section from the log
file:

Should I report this as a problem to SchedulesDirect, or do I need to
re-download the channel list in mythtv-setup or ???

Note: using 0.25.3 on Gentoo.
