It is a feature :-)(*) and is one reason why MythUtil-Channel-XMLTV-getLineup
was written.....

It works for me (well, I would hope so).


(*) There is a lot of historical confusion between channels and
schedules.  XMLTV tracks schedules, but calls them channels.
In some cases there is a one-to-one mapping, but as you see,
that is not always the case.  I do not think the XMLTV community
has sufficient consensus on any paths forward, but it has
been talked about for years on and off.
