It is very easy to conclude that chanenls with the same name are the same. They are sometimes not.
A while back, there was a chap regularly saying that AB 28.2 was not finding the new frequency for SS1, a few hours later he posted back saying it was working again. The issue was that the broadcaster was playing with encryptions. ROI version of the channel was using the encryption system that his cam could open, the English versions were could not clear.
Additionally although channels may have the same name, they could be transmitting from different transponders. One may be stronger than the other.
In response to post 3, what region are you in? 117 is not on the lineup for most regions. You can alway check on following site. There is a box to select your region. Change the $ to s.

I have always enabled the "other/extra" option. This will ensure that all channels irrespective of region are written to your system. Once this is done, the following can be done: (Reverse order deliberately)
2. View 117 by going into the "other" bouquet or long winded way of gong into: satellites > 28.2 services. Alternatvely if you are not in teh london region, amend the supplement file.
1. Go into Satellites > 28.2 services, check which same named chanenls are viewable. We can then investigate further as which exact channel has issues and if so which issue. Maybe slight optimisation of dish alignment. If the issue is the decrypton method, we can either swap or override with use of supplement file.
In my opinion, anyone experiencing issues with AB 28.2 should post the following:
What options are used. A sceenshot of the setup page is excellent for this.
If swap/sort are used, upload those files found in the plugin directory: /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/AutoBouquets
A copy of the generated csv file would also be helpful.
