Bjorn already did so.

However, what do you do, if the user decides to change the preset? A 
*lot* is currently keyed upon the chanid: lots of DB tables and the 
filenames of recordings. Changing all that is not practical nor 
desirable, and if you don't, you get inconsistencies.

That would still leave lots of places where the channum is exposed, from 
the EPG to MythWeb.
