Description

XMLTV channel definitions now include ATSC VCT-derived virtual channel numbers (major.minor) and call signs, emitted as separate <display-name> elements and associated with the existing channel ID (program number).

Example output:

<channel id="1">
  <display-name>5.1</display-name>
  <display-name>KPIX-TV</display-name>
</channel>

This follows the XMLTV DTD (display-name+) and the approach discussed in #1835
