For testing I added your new channel list to my channels.conf.
Here's what my VDR reported upon startup:

Mar  9 10:21:46 raspi4 vdr: [3134] loading ../cfg/channels.conf
Mar  9 10:21:46 raspi4 vdr: [3134] deleting duplicate channel KWBA-HD,KWBA-HD:653028615:M10:A:0:49=2:0;52=eng@106,53=esl@106:0:0:3:0:207:0
Mar  9 10:21:46 raspi4 vdr: [3134] deleting duplicate channel LATV,LATV:653028615:M10:A:0:65=2:0;68=eng@106:0:0:4:0:207:0
Mar  9 10:21:46 raspi4 vdr: [3134] deleting duplicate channel ThisTV,ThisTV:653028615:M10:A:0:81=2:0;84=eng@106:0:0:5:0:207:0

With your old list I get no such log entries. So I guess somebody messed up
with the TIDs, and the problem should be fixed there.
