[QUOTE="tourettes, post: 703498, member: 10858"] Channel name is not ever unique. Same channel name can be received from multiple sources (-S, -T, -C, -IP) or broadcaster can even use the same channel name multiple times in the same broadcast type. Also broadcaster can change the channel name (rename it) and the channel content would be still the same. I have seen all those to happen and name is not able to make unique channel identifier in those cases. DVB spec has already that issue sorted out, it just needs that both applications and broadcasters behave correctly. Now MP is complying the specs and if broadcaster isn't then we cannot unfortunately do anything about it. [/QUOTE]
