The base port is a global setting that can be changed in plugin's setup:
iptv.ExtProtocolBasePort=4321

However, if you create more than one IPTV device, the device's base port 
is the one defined in setup plus device's enumeration:
Device 0: 4321
Device 1: 4322

These should be documented (somehow) in plugin's README.

If you're having only one IPTV device, the script should be killed (and 
mplayer/ffmpeg as well) before the new one is executed with new channel 
specific parameters when zapping. There were some protocol specific bugs 
in the channel switching, so you should try the latest public 0.3.0 
release, if not already done.
