The short answer, you can't
The long answer, that list is all that bleb currently offer. If it ever
got to the point that a new channel was added and xaptv didn;t have it
yet you could add it to the csv bleb= line of the xaptv.txt file. I have
sent an email to Andrew who runs bleb to see if north listings will be
available anytime soon.(www.bleb.org)

If they were both active yes but would you have both north_bbc1 and
south_bbc1 being collected together. The name= is to tidy things up,
it's completely optional.(could do with a gui for editing though)

Correct, all name= does is to rename channels as they often have co.uk
/.com /north /south_ etc around the real channel name.
