Bug #2019
ATSC Channel Number assignment is incorrect
0%
Description
In top of tree; the configuration of the backend doesn't support decimal channels. ie: ATSC writes the channel format as "<localchannel>.<serviceID>". So right now; every channel that has multiple serviceIDs shows up as the same channel (ie: localchannel). For example channel '1' appears 18 times because there's 18 servicesIDs for channel 1. I would expect the channels to be numbered
'1.1', '1.2', '1.3', etc.

This is not considered a bug, there is currently no way to represent such numbers in TVH. And the change required is not insignificant and wouldn't be compatible with our clients. Therefore I decided not to try and support this bizarre numbering scheme. Though I thought I'd done something to shift the numbers into integer format *100 or something but maybe I did I didn't. Out maybe this is yet another slight variation on the NA specific crazy numbering scheme.
