On I understand what you are trying to achieve now. LCN data is broadcast as
part of the UK Freeview service and Tony's script uses that data to resort
the channels list (like a Freeview STB would in fact). I guess what you are
after is a combination of xmltvtovdr and Tony's scanln script.

Yes, but not quite the same.

What I am after is an ordered channel list in the same order as the
official decoders from different providers.  ie, someone from outside
the UK wouldn't necessarily know that the channels go:

BBC 1, 2 , ITV 1, Ch 4, five.  Then BBC 3, 4 etc.

I know when I moved to Italy from the UK it took me about a year to work
out that Rete 4, Canale 5 were followed by Italia 1..

The channel numbers for several providers are already in Lyngsat, with
the channel frequencies and tsid's.. Why not extract the info and build
an ordered channel list for vdr in the operator designated order?
