Users of a single closed system like Freeview, cable, or Sky will certainly be accustomed to preset channel numbers in the EPG - after all Sky et al will be charging different rates to content providers depending on how 'premium' the channel number is.. As a result, in the UK at least, advertising for channels includes the channel number on all three platforms - Freeview, cable and Sky.. Channel numbers might be a novel concept for users of a steerable dish, but for most of us they're utterly standard and quite mandatory for non-technical users. gdh _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
