I have an Openelec installation where I am running TVHeadend as the back end, and the standard PVR interface in XBMC. Openelec is the latest stable version, and I am running version 3.2 of TVHeadEnd due to broken ATSC handling in version 3.4. The system is up and working with the program guide displaying am able to schedule recordings etc. However some of the channel names show up as Channel 48 etc. I am wondering where XBMC gets its channel names from? I may be able to us this information to correct the displayed channel names.Smile

XBMC assigns "Channel XX" names to channels that have no name in the backend. I believe the numbering is sequential and has no connection to tvheadend's numbering.
