Uncheck them from "Favorite channels".

I finally figured it out. I was correctly removing the channel from the
Favorites and REceived lists, but I'd forgotten there was an option to pick
which channels are displayed on the Guide screen. I had "All" selected.
Chaning that to Received or Favorites did the trick.

What do you mean by DTV messes with channels recevied?

What if you mark ALL the ones you like as 'favorites' then view the
favorites-only mode?

Some channels 'come and go' over time. Also new channels emerge. These
channels are automatically shown as well as added to the 'Channels I
receive' list. Thus if you want to see only certain channels, without ever
seeing new ones, you can use the 'Favorites' list. That way only channels
marked as 'I receive' *AND* added to the 'Favorites' list will show up. The
trick is to make sure you select the right set from the Guide settings. You
can see All, I receive, or Favorites. I prefer to use just Favorites.
