Concerning whether to use the longer or the shorter version of the name+source, I would choose the shorter version to not increase chances of the new name not fitting in the OSD. Thus:

 ZDF (S)
 ZDF (T)
 ZDF (C)

After sleeping over this for a night I tend to follow your idea of using modifed names directly, thus having them appear everywhere.

I won't change these names in channels.conf, though (this file shall always store what comes from the broadcaster - provided it is enabled in the setup). I'll rather

• Make a setup option to "Show channel names with source" (default is

"no").

• Modify cChannel::Name() and cChannel::ShortName() to optionally append the source character (A, C, S, T, I, ...) to the channel name in the (short) form mentioned above.

Hello Klaus!

Just in case you miss this: Your patch puts a '(' after a channel Category defined with ':CategoryName' in channels.conf
