That's a somewhat misleading example.
(Quite apart from the fact that I've got FreeView rather than satellite!)
SNMP doesn't really distinguish between different people asking
for different OIDs in that way. With SNMP, all three of us would see
Are You Being Served? on all three channels.
Consider the following instead:
Channel 27 is running continuous repeats of Are You Being Served?
Channel 28 is running continuous repeats of Fawlty Towers
Channel 29 is running continuous repeats of Yes Minister
Channel 30 is running "The Best of British Comedy"
(drawn from the above three)
So if you flip between channels 29 and 30 (say) you may well see
exactly the same programme (*without* adverts, I might add!)
But there's only one videotape (remember tham?) playing for both
channels. Then at the end of the half-hour, channel 30 changes
to show Fawlty Towers instead, running alongside channel 28.
But again, there's only one videotape playing for both.
That's actually closer to Chris' original question.

[Unfortunately Channel 30 (aka UKTV Gold) isn't available on
FreeView, so I don't actually have that option!]
