Sorry to pipe into an old thread, but it still seems kind relevant.

I am a complete novice when it comes to HTPC and MP.

I've got a Compro Videomate S350 (yes, budget I know) and it works fine with MP. I've managed to scan over 350 channels, and have sorted out the "BBC/ITV freesat" ones, so I have BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel 4, More4, E4, Film4 plus a load of other garbage I need to delete.

However, just before I do delete the rest (including all the odd Unknowns and Streams) I wanna check that I can't yet get any Channel Five channels (Five, FiveUS, Fiver etc) FTA? From what I have read here, they are currently still scrambled but will be available some time later this year via BBC/ITV freesat. Is this true.

Thanks and kind regards.

Oh, and if anyone wants to tell me how I can re-arrange my TV Guide, so certain channels appear first, that'd be great. I tried moving them around in the TV Channels tab of TV Server Configuration, but it had no effect....
