You have to forget what is in the mantis. That was just an initial thought and is not neccesarily how it is implemented. My previous post states how it is really implemented.
About the question where what is stored: The examples in the previous post are exactly how it is stored, i only left out some non important columns. Also the naming should be the terms i used earlier.
And to get it clear: This whole unique ID thing is only about tuningdetails, not channels. For channels we just use the normal database generated channel ID.
I don't know where you are seeing the channel id in the config: that is not there. The only ID i can see is the ID of the tuningdetail (Which again is not from the network, it is a generated DB ID). I think this is just so confusing because you are not using the correct terms. There is a big difference between: ID, ONID, SID, TSID. And also between channels and tuningdetails. Please try to use the correct terms, else it will become more and more confusing.
If you edit a TUNINGDETAIL there is a field called "Channel:". That is NOT the ID of the tuningdetail (else it would have been called ID), that is the LCN of the tuningdetail.
Of course that field is used: It is used when you press the numbers on your remote to tune to a channel (unless you have indicated in the config that you want to use the index in your list instead of the LCN).
The last part i have to think about, bit complicated to read so early on the morning. BTW: There should be no reason for you to delete channels before scanning.
