We Europeans (well, most of us, I guess) do not. Therefore MediaPortal added the checkbox you describe. However, that puts the channel selection mode into some sort of indexed / offset mode. You can then select 'the fourth channel' in the list by pressing '4' on your remote.What I'm looking for is this: - I press '4' on the remote, MP switches to the channel which is labeled '4' (we need an extra column for this in the database). This does not necessarily have to be the fourth channel.Perhaps I have no channels labeled '3' or '2'.This is common practice in the Netherlands (at least with Casema, Multikabel and TV@Home) where, for instance, the Belgian channels 'een' and 'Ketnet' are on 'channels' 21 and 22 followed by 'TV Noord' on channel 31. There you have it, a gap in the channel sequence. Furthermore, labels '21' and '22' have nothing to do with frequencies whatsoever. Those labels originate from the infinite wisdom of our DVB-C providers, and are subject to change without notice.On my STB I am able to select the abovementioned channels by pressing 21 and 22 on my remote. In MP however, I have to know at which position (or offset) those channels are stored. To me, this is a bit confusing, because MP has not replaced my STB (yet).See what I mean?

However, I am not that happy with the column and table used by this solution. I still think this column should be in the groupmap table (idchannel, idgroup, channelNr).</blockquote>
