I've been thinking about the seasonal/holiday channel conundrum that several people have mentioned and all the workarounds people have posted. I thought of two possible solutions going forward:
1) Expanding the best effort scheduling capability to include a monthly setting, where you could insert a hidden channel into a regular channel for an entire month, or
2) Have some kind of month-based toggle which could switch a hidden channel into an unhidden channel for a specific month.
I'm not sure how this would work and whether the change in status would crash PTVL or whether it would simply take effect on the next restart or channel reset, but I thought it might be useful to share the idea.
