The four rightmost numbers are SID:NID:TID:RID. These values are used to compose
the "channel id". So these channels have exactly the same "id", and thus are
"the same" to VDR. Since you are saying that these are in fact very different
channels (presumably with different EPG), it is just plain wrong to use the
same values for NID, TID and SID (RID=0 is irrelevant). The question is: who
does it wrong? If these values are broadcast as such in the SDT, it´s the
broadcaster´s fault. If they are correct (i.e. different for each channel)
in the SDT, it´s the ATSCEPG plugin´s fault.

To see which values are broadcast, you can set

static bool DebugSdt = true;

in sdt.c.
