[QUOTE="arion_p, post: 517875, member: 45945"] Point 1: WebEPG maps channels by name while xmltv maps them by id. What this mean in practice is that if you rescan channels, WebEPG will retain your mappings (as long as you don't change their names) whereas xmltv will loose them. Now I don't know why you want to name two different channels using the exact same name but I personally don't find it wise (even if WebEPG could diferentiate between the two you can't know which is which just by the name). Point 2: A channel can be in any number of groups. If you have channel 1 in both groups 1 and 2 that doesn't make it have different content. If you have two different channels named identically, see point 1. Groups are not meant to differentiate between identically named channel. They are meant to group channels in smaller sets base on some common aspect (eg all news channels, all kids channels etc). Point 3: A result of point 1, but have to investigate further [/QUOTE]
