I have never seen channels with that number at my location. Possibly this is because I have good signal strength for the 6 MUXes that my aerial can receive, and zero signal strength for the 2 MUXes that my aerial cannot receive (the 6 are vertically polarised, the other 2 are horizontally polarised).

If that channel number is the result of a marginal signal, it is unlikely that the channel would be watchable. If you can receive channels with that number, have you tried watching them? Are they of watchable quality, or do they suffer from too much pixelation? Remember that MP has to work worldwide, and maybe there are some DVB-T transmission systems that don't set the channel number, or which set the channel number in a location in the datastream where MP does not look for it. The user can use the "Edit Channel" dialogue in "TV Server Config" to specify some other channel number, so a channel number of 10000 is not fatal (provided that the signal is strong enough to be watchable).

So, I don't know what to recommend.

[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1275449, member: 141969"] I have never seen channels with that number at my location.
