No. It does one of 2 things:<br>
<br>
1) If a new channel is created with the same channel ID, then any recordings that were from the original channel will show as having come from the new channel.<br>
2) If no channel with that channel ID exists, the Watch Recordings screen and similar will show the recording as having come from "#1021" or whatever the channel ID is.<br>
<br>
It has absolutely no effect whatsoever on the integrity of the data--only on the display of what channel aired the recording. And, as soon as you watch and delete the recording--or if you plan to keep it long term, move it to Video Library--it won't even be a display issue anymore.<br>

But that might violate the principle of least surprise... "I thought that recorded on channel 12 but it's showing 44" or whatever.<br>
