Channels with dots

[madasus]

telly release with the issue:
version=1.1.0.6, branch=dev

Last working telly release (if known):

Operating environment (Docker/Windows/Linux/QNAP, etc.):

Docker on Synology NAS

Description of problem:
I am retrieving a m3u file and xml epg from TVHeadend and I have channels that contain a dot in the channel number. For example 8.1 and 8.2. When these channels are loaded to Telly they come in without a channel number and are assigned a default (10000 range) channel.
