I'm seeing the same here on my slave backend which is a Satix S2 dual tuner, so it's not card specific.

I've tried deleting and re-creating capture cards, I tried adding another source and putting the cards on that, all gives the same result. I think it used to work, although I'm beginning to wonder if my memory is good or not! I'm sure if it was a known not finished yet feature someone would have said so by now......

I've not seen the problem at 19E, 13E or 1W, there are many things about the tables at 28E that seem sloppy, duplicated channel ids for a start.
