Hi Rob, I think xmltv2vdr.pl might be a better place to start for what you are trying to achieve... as you can point it at a TV listing web site and extract all the EPG data for the channels listed apparently based on my reading of threads on this list that is! Andrew On 2/14/07, Rob Davis <[EM

The point is that a £20 freeview box automatically sorts the channel list using the broadcast lcn data without any user intervention. Then of course all the channel numbering is correct and conforms to the UK freeview channel order. By using Tony's script we get the same functionality in vdr for U
