When recording programmes that are on several different channels (eg new episodes on one channel and repeated episodes on another, or where the same programme is available on both SD and HD channels) it would be useful for there to be a Settings | Recording | File Naming tick-box option to include either the channel name or the channel's LCN in the filename, to allow them to be distinguished. The channel name is included in the matching XML file, but this is only created once the recording has finished, and isn't visible during recording. Also, it is useful to be able to check in the Status Monitor tray icon.

Maybe a filename could be BBC News at One_LCN 101_20171005_13001330 versus BBC News at One_LCN 1_20171005_13001330 or else BBC News at One_BBC One NE&C_20171005_13001330 versus BBC News at One_BBC One HD_20171005_13001330. Including the channel gives added confirmation in the status monitor that the correct version is being recorded, and to distinguish new from repeated episodes when they are saved to the same folder (because they are the same programme title).

This feature is one of the few things that I miss that was in Windows Media Centre.
