There's absolutely no risk.

Same call sign = same channel for the purposes of "this channel" 
recording rules ("I don't care which of the channels is used for 
recording shows")

Same channel number = same channel for the purposes of Live TV ("I don't 
care which of the channels is tuned when I type that number in during 
Live TV")

Same call sign and same channel number = same channel for scheduling and 
Live TV and condensed to a single row in the guide ("I don't care which 
channel is used for recording or Live TV *and* only want to see it once 
on my guide")

So, you can have call sign and channel number different or the same, 
depending on how you want it treated.
