Cannot add channel with duplicate name to Channel Collections

Hi - I've had a good search for a solution, but can't find one, which tells me I must be doing something wrong!

I have two sources, both M3U. Within the TV apps (I primarily us Android TV and Fire TV) I want to be able to switch between one source and another on my TV guide, only showing one source at a time.
Channel Collections seems to be the way to achieve this in the app guide.

However, when I am adding channels to my Channel Collections if there is a channel with the same name on both sources (say for example CNN) it only appears on the source that is first priority. The channel with the same name on the second source simply doesn't show in the "Pick a channel" drop down box.

Is there some setting I'm missing somewhere that allows duplicate channel names?

Do they have unique channel-id values in your m3u

Ah I see - so by renaming them in the M3U so it's "CHANNEL NAME 1" on source one and "CHANNEL NAME 2" on source two, both appear as options in "Pick a channel".

Thanks for your quick reply, really impressed.
