Perhaps I misunderstood what was exported. Indeed I thought that the mapping was exported. It could save me from doing the mapping again after a reinstallation. This doesn't happen very often and is no big deal for me. More important is the name vs displayName issue.

The problem is that on analog channels the name column doesn't hold the channel name information. After a scan the name and displayName columns hold the "channel number" or some information found in teletext. This is often no good for identifying the channel. When manually renaming the channel, displayName is altered and name stays the same. Which is what I guess happened to Redfish as well.

Some examples:
[CODE][FONT="Fixedsys"]
id name displayName
205 SVERIGES TELEVISION 24
206 17 Kanal 5
207 SVERIGES TELEVISION SVT1
208 SVERIGES TELEVISION SVT2
209 22 TV6
