The current solution (by not deleting anything) is poor, because if you use a huge Satellite network (i.e. Astra 19.2), there are frequently changes in the channel lists.
* channel change there transponders
* new channels appear and vanish after a shart time
* channels change thier names (i.e. "Kabel 1" becomes "Kabel eins")
All this leads to a channel list with many not working entries after some time.
The only thing a user can do right now is deleting the complete channel list before he scans a satellite, but of course that means he has to remap the channels to a seconds card & rebuild his channel groups... Not really user friendly.
My idea is to do the following:
* before the scan starts we store the current datatime.
* during scan every founded or updated channel gets a "flag" with a current datatime as well.
* after the scan is complete (and not cancelled)... we can get all the channels the are mapped to the card but not found any more... and ask the user if he wants to delete them.
To make this a bit more "fool proofed" we can enhanced this with some kind of a "Not found counter". So a channel gets only deleted if it was not found during the last x scans...
