UK Freeview Channel Order

mikey4020 · 2006-07-06, 15:20

I have installed the 0.2.0.0 release of MediaPortal and have found that after doing a channel scan the channels are not in any any kind of logical order e.g all the BBC channels appear to be clustered together in the EPG.

Is there any way, other than mannually, I can get the channels in proper order with their correct freeview numbers?

You can re-arrange the channel order in configuration under the TV Channel list. The up and down buttons are used for this.

Yes but I was wondering if it was a bug or something I had done wrong because in the past the channels have appeared in order (BBC1, BBC2, ITV etc.). I'm also lazy and can't be bothered doing it manually

Yeah, im getting this. The channels are listed in frequency order and not in Freeview Channel order. MP used to do this for you automatically. E.g. BBC1 isnt the first channel found when scanning, but on ALL freeview boxes it is set in position 1.

i've manually sorted my channels... but i also notice that they don't have their correct channels numbers..... ie SKY News should be channel 82... but MP has it as channel 41 or something like that.

how do i correct this ?
