That's because your grabber is regrabbing them. You need to comment
them out in your whatever.xmltv file

channel: 66 TRAV
not channel: 67 CSPAN2

Careful, you're describing your ability to find. Schedule Recordings->
Search Words. Each of these pages start with a popup that has a button
labled "Record" where you create search rules.

Regardless of how a rule is created, search, manual, or regular rule,
the Set Priorities lists all of your rules. Select the one you want to
delete and change the record type to "Do not record this program".
