Show Channel name instead of Call Sign in Program Guide

Is it possible to show Channel name instead of Call Sign in Program Guide ?
For example Discovery Channel instead of DSCHD.
I have difficulty to quickly locate channel I need between hundreds of them in my Program Guide.
I know that this info is available in SageTV because it can be found in Channel Manager.
Search Program Guide by Channel name would also help.
I hope it is already done and hidden somewhere in Sage properties
Thanks.

There may be another solution then what I am going to propose... but why not just add the channel logos? they will replace the text- there are several logo collections available here in the downloads and via the pluging manager. I Downloaded them for my 6.x I got the collections they had here and tweaked the names to match my areas call leters, then I went to lyngsat for the missing ones.

I already have logos implemented. They are not much help. I need to sort Program Guide by channel name to quickly locate for example History channel.
There is an option to search Guide for a specific show. It would be great to have another "Search for Channel" option.

Replace Channel Name (Station) with Channel Description

Is there a way to replace Channel Name (Station) with Channel Description in Program Guide? For example "DSC" with "The Discovery Channel"?

It would be great to search Guide by keyword in Channal Description. Like entering "discovery" would limit Guide to channels having "discovery" in Channel Description.

Thank you.

Add another voice. I'd like to see "MeToo" instead of "WEUCA" for example. I'm sure the call letters are correct, but newspapers and the channel itself calls it "METOO" If I edit the channel name, then I can't get guide data.
