[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 914928, member: 82144"] For DVB channels, the combination of original network ID (ONID) + service ID (SID) is meant to be unique. In practice we find this is not the case. It requires name + ONID + SID to get a unique combination if you don't want to use the channel ID. Analog, ATSC and DVB-IP/IP-TV channels are different again. This is a good point. For my part I was not and am not asking for the channel ID to be used instead of the name. I just think it is important to provide some way to unambiguously specify the channel that the link is pointing to. As you say, the name is more suitable for a skin designer or somebody who wants to share a customisation with a friend. However the channel ID might be necessary for somebody who wants to customise their own installation without restriction on how they name their channels. [/QUOTE]
