Myth treats any channels with the same callsign as the same channel.  
This is the desired behavior--it allows Myth to choose to record from 
any source with that channel--even if it's a different channel 
number--to increase the likelihood of having an available capture card.

That's the right way to fix it, not a workaround (although you can use 
any callsign you want).
