[QUOTE="rsbrux, post: 1283189, member: 49539"] After I performed the usual "[URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/Recording#Recording-Databaseimport']Change channel[/URL]" for the 5 recordings with changed channel names mentioned above, all of the recordings were mapped to the appropriate channel logos.
