As I stated before, the default file naming format produces unique filename for each specific show episode regardless of when/where it was recorded from. Adding the channel name all the time would break that. Additionally, the vast majority of NextPVR users (99%+) use NextPVR or a related client (kodi, Emby, Plex, etc.) to manage and watch recordings. And those can already get and display the channel it was recorded from.
The referenced post is a standard Windows .bat batch file script. I would say that the easiest way for you to convert from the channel number to channel name in your postprocessing.bat file would be to use a lookup table type mapping between channel number and channel name. You can look at this article for an example of how you might do that in a .bat file.
