"How are you supposed to know which one of those channels you are using?
How are other applications dealing with this? "

Other programs show the name and the channel number + multiplex number
(e.g. KGPT-49.1)

"I think that listing the same channel multiple times is a bad
solution."

But not allow the user to access the channels is a WORSE solution.

"I think that the channel names should be unique."

Hence using the channel # and multiplex # which are guaranteed to be
unique.

"Where did you get that channels.conf file from?"

>From the output of w-scan, which is the recommended way to get the data.
Indeed, since me-tv does not support ATSC scanning itself, it is the
ONLY way.

"I think that it's used the broadcasters/network/transponder name rather
than the service name."

Look more closely at the data, specifically the data for KPTS and KWCH.
The data in the file IS the service name, as sent by the broadcaster
over the air - it's just that KGPT isn't sending anything but the
callsign.
