I'd think the only way to have two copies of the same channel is if it's sideloaded, and then added as a public/private channel from the channel store. I haven't seen it load multiple copies of the channel any other way to the home screen.
If you are sideloading channels, it will show up at the end of the list, and you remove that one by going to the developer webpage and delete it there. Anything else should be classed as a bug, as you shouldn't have multiple copies of the same channel in normal operation (it ought to say channel is already installed and refuse to load more copies)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought removing a channel from the channel store was set up to delete it from the rokus on the same account within 24 hours? What do you do if you don't have the remote with the remove channel option at another location? Do you need to rely on third party hardware or smartphone apps or buy the remote with the remove option button, or do a factory reset?
I think you misunderstood the situation. He deleted his published channel via the "Manage Channels" page of the developer site (which removed it from the channel store), then published it again as a brand new channel. That will create two instances of the channel with different IDs, so it'll show up twice if you've installed both. Deleting a published channel from the "Manage Channels" page of your developer account does not remove it from any Rokus that have it installed. It just deletes it from the channel store, so it can't be installed on any additional Rokus.
