[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1197424, member: 82144"] This may slow down scanning speed significantly because all/most database records have to be touched. I don't know if this is a good idea. Okay, but not everybody is the same as you. In the UK it seems quite a few people have access to the same channels from satellite (Freesat and/or Sky) and terrestrial DVB-T/T2 (Freeview), and they want to merge them. Same here in NZ. We need a solution that works for everybody (...or almost everybody). I'll consider your suggestions, thanks. :) Already done. :) When a channel has one tuning detail, update is automatic. When a channel has multiple tuning details, the scanner checks the current (old) TD name and the current channel name: [LIST] [*]if (current TD name == current channel name) => channel name and TD name are updated [*]if (current TD name != current channel name) => TD name is updated, but channel name is [B]not[/B] updated [/LIST] P.S. Same logic is used for automatic channel number updates. ;) [/QUOTE]
