Yes, they will, assuming you have both an ATSC and an NTSC tuner in the
same system. If 21 is standard-def coming in over ATSC, it would become
211. You'd have to change one of them in the channel editor (once) to
resolve the ambiguity. This is true any time you have multiple video
sources.
The way it works in the current code, you'd get channel 2 and channel
21. If channel 2 had multiple subchannels, you'd get multiple channel 2's.
I was thinking of adding a numeric "channel offset" setting for each
video source in Setup to get around this problem. But I'm not sure if
it would be worth it; you'd have to know what you're doing to know that
you have to use this setting, and if you know what you're doing, it's
easy enough to fix after the fact.
