[mythtv-users] Channel numbers unique?

Yes, that is the case here. I can watch (as example) SVT2 both via STB and via Analogue tuners.

Well, yes. The truth is that i _by accident_ edited the channums instead of freqid initially, and when setting them back I just wondered what I should use as channum (as those got overwritten by myself)
