#13447: Mythtv-setup option: Logical Channel Number required

---------------------------------------+---------------------------
In a mythtv-setup channelscan of a DVB signal, each channel gets a channel
number from the Logical Channel Descriptor (0x83) if that is present;
otherwise the service ID is used as channel number.
Initial testing shows that with the filtering on Logical Channel Number
the list of channels in MythTV is exactly the same as the list of channels
in my (real) TV.
As it is possible to have a DVB signal without Logical Channel Numbers or
if somehow channels without a number are of interest the filtering has to
be an option.
On my DVB-C signal the services without a channel number are used for
software download, for video-on-demand channels and as duplicates of
channels with a channel number.
A patch is forthcoming.
For reference:
- tested with DVB-C signal "Ziggo" in The Netherlands; 220 channels with a
channel number, 34 channels without.
- tested with DVB-T2 signal "Digitenne" in The Netherlands: 33 channels
with a channel number, no channels without.
