No - that's the point. They *can* share the same video tape. The agent only needs to hold one item of data (tape) which can be made available under two different names (channels). A different analogy would be Unix hard links. It is possible to have two or more links, all referring to a single underlying file. There will be two or more valid names for this file, but the contents are the same for all of them.
