The listings are exactly the same, with one single exception that true
HD programs are marked as HD in the HD listing(I wrote the grabber).
The only other thing I can think of is that in those instances they
are without episode info, so they are generic. It has been some time
ago it happened so I don't know anymore, but I know that it, with my
present grabber, is rare that I do not find episode info on any of the
sources I grab from.
My main question is, what is the effect if I give them the same
Callsign.

Tot mails,
