Comment:

 Stuart M, Nick M,

 We discussed this in mythtv-dev a couple months ago. While channels with
 the same callsign should mostly have the same programming, they can in
 fact have slight differences. What this means in practice is that in the
 EPG we group by callsign and channum. That is if the channum and callsign
 are the same we list them as one channel, if either is different we list
 them as separate channels. This means that if you do have multiple
 channels with the callsign "WABC", you need to give them different
 channum's if you want them listed separately, but if you want to just see
 one of the "WABC" channels you need to give them the same channum.

 Mythweb should probably implement this same grouping strategy unless there
 is some compelling reason not to.
