A channel has a chanid, a channum and a callsign. If one of those is
the same for two channels MythTV sees them as equal. I forgot which
one, but I think it's somewhere in the WIKI. Also if I remember right
one of the other was to make two channels show as one in the guide!
Search on those three names in the WIKI!
