Exactly, and you'll want to repeat the approach (to clear out the 
duplicates) to be able to fix things.

I'm assuming you're using a "non-scannable" capture device (i.e. 
CableCARD tuner or HD-PVR or ivtv device or similar) since you said, "I 
setup a new source and updated it with schedule direct," which I'm 
taking to mean you used the "Fetch channels from listings source" button 
in mythtv-setup to import your channels.

This is quite likely.  You can try using the "re-add all lineups" button 
on Schedules Direct to ensure your lineups have the channels that SD 
thinks should be there.  If the same happens again, it likely means TMS 
haven't finished the update.  If so, you will need to go through and 
manually remove the old/extra channels from your Schedules Direct lineup 
or wait for TMS to finish updating it.
