[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1107072, member: 141969"] Thank you very much for a detailed explanation. Now the test to see if I have understood it correctly! :) Recommended practice is: (1) Don't begin by deleting channels. (2) Rescan, enabling channel-movement detection. (3) Channels that are not changed by the scan do [i]not[/i] result in the creation of duplicate channels. Recordings for these channels will continue to work without problem. (4) Channels that are different after the scan will be usable, but [i]may[/i] leave as an orphan the equivalent channel that existed before the scan (depending on whether ids changed). These orphans are unusable and should be deleted. Scheduled recordings for programmes on orphan channels will not work, and so need to be deleted and recreated. (5) New channels will be added and be usable. Well, I hope that I have got that right! -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
