But here you just showed WHY it's proper use chanid and not channum.
Channels can often have the same number.
chanid may be more confusing from a user standpoint, since the number
doesn't always line up with the channum, but channum is not a unique
field (and in many cases - mainly europe - is not a number or something
that has much significance to the viewer/user)
