Wont this miss
     channel = '1' parameterSetId='1'
followed by
     channel = '1' parameterSetId='1'
     channel = '2' parameterSetId='2'
?
I think you need to check count($nextTimeInterval)
 !=count ($currentTimeInterval)
as well.

And it would be as well to test

     channel = '1' parameterSetId='1'
     channel = '2' parameterSetId='2'
followed by
     channel = '1' parameterSetId='2'
     channel = '2' parameterSetId='1'

and similar evil combinations.
