One thing to be aware of is that the scheduler doesn't care what the channel
numbers are. If two channels have the same callsign they can be used
interchangably by the scheduler (provided the program you're recording
appears in the EPG data for both channels). If you want to keep the channels
seperate then you're probably best to have different callsigns as well as
different channel numbers.

Cheers,
Steve
