And that works to a point. I have been trying to pad using the sat number for example 790000, 970000, 1130000, etc. But this makes the numbers a bit long. The problem here is that some providers like to sprawl with there numbers using 4 and sometimes even 5 digits. The 5 digit channel problem is minor though as those seem to tend to be data channels with nothing on them. ----- Original Message ----- From: "VDR User" <user.vdr@xxxxxxxxx> To: "VDR Mailing List" <vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, March 07, 2008 9:53 AM Subject: Re: sub channel numbering system > On Fri, Mar 7, 2008 at 8:46 AM, Theunis Potgieter > <theunis.potgieter@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > So if provider 1 broadcasts a 2.1 channel and provider 2 also > > broadcasts a 2.1 channel and you as a vdr user can have more than 1 > > provider.
