A good point, actually. Just as with the xmltvid field, the usage outside the US 
is different than that within. We don't have short callsigns so those we do get 
are being truncated in the database.

This may seem trivial but a test in the channel scanner for a duplicate, say 
"BBC ONE Lon" versus "BBC ONE London", is never going to match.

This may also be true when updating the schedules using the xmltv interface.
