During setup of a TV (recording) system, it is not only necessary to find channels by a channel scan, but also to properly name and sort the channels, and to assign the RCF2838-IDs, which associate the station to schedule information from XMLTV.

We separate the problem into two parts:

1. Identify a channel (which we found during scan) as a certain station (by its RFC2838 ID).
2. Get metadata about a station, like long and short display names, logo, and the default preset number.
