I suggest you implement that workaround, because I don't see how
this could be easily changed in VDR. Since the channel name or number
is not part of the recording's directory name, there's no way to
distinguish two recordings with exactly the same title, start time, priority
and lifetime. So in such a case you could either use different start times,
or add, e.g., the channel name to the title.
