What if you have EPG scan enabled? Doesn´t the card touch all channels?

There has often been a discussion on how to determine channels that 
don´t exist anymore, and I don´t have much idea about it. So I say sorry 
for this basic question, but, what happens if a channels stops 
transmission? Doesn´t it have no more audio and video PIDs transmitted? 
So can´t I simply delete channels where the audio and video PID can´t be 
determined anymore?
