For example, channel 6.1 should not become 61 and force the real 61 to become something else. It's pretty obvious thats a terrible way to address the issue. The idea is to keep channel numbers in sync with the provider, not change it all around because of a personal dislike. Yes, I understand at present VDR stores channel numbers as integers, and maybe that should change to better suit current/future needs (scaled integers?). Afterall, channel numbers aren't defined as integers by specification, that was simply a VDR design decision made long ago when this issue didn't exist. If you are really disgusted by using "." (which -is- the most commonly accepted & used numbering sub-system) to denote sub-channels then maybe someone can brainstorm a different solution that's reasonable. Hopefully others will chime in on this although I think Timothy Lenz's previous post sums it up pretty clearly... _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
