One further point: with this option enabled, TV Server is able to avoid generating duplicate channels in many cases, but not all cases (this is simply a result of the nature of the information that is available to TV Server).

If you do get duplicates, the old non-working channel will remain in the list, but there should be the new working channel also in the list. However, these may not be adjacent in the list. So you can be mislead into thinking that the new channel has not been found, because you are looking at the non-working entry in the list, and the working entry is somewhere else in the list (probably off screen).

This is what I do:

(1) Expand the channel list on the right, so that you can see the channel numbers.
(2) Click the column heading for the channel numbers to sort the list into ascending order.
(3) Visually scan the channel numbers looking for duplicate numbers (they will now be adjacent).
(4) When you find duplicates, click "Preview" for each in turn to determine which entry is the working entry.
(5) Delete the non-working entry.
