   Actually, the problem occurs in any system which lacks knowledge of
   the universal names for its channels.  True, this occurs primarily in
   analog systems and may someday be a legacy issue, but it is a relevant
   problem today, and one which I believe should be addressed.

Note also the term "universal names."  While a station's call letters
are universal (for the moment: this will get a little fuzzy with
ATSC), other names such as "HBO" are _not_ currently universal (see
the background discussion, which goes into examples in detail.
