Channel numbers in EPG (1 Viewer)

[Nordfinn]

I recently did a fresh install of 2.5 on a new Windows 11 PC. My previous (Windows 10) version of 2.5 gave my broadcast TV channel numbers as they appear in the TV Configuration utilility (e.g., 2001 through 2005, for all the substation broadcast by Channel 2, then, next, 4001, etc., for the substations broadcast by Channel 4, etc.). This only makes sense (for me, at least, watching over-the-air television in New York City). This version numbers every individual channel sequentially, 1 through 67. There doesn't seem to be an option to change this (although, from what I read here, there is such an option in MP1). Am I missing something? I wouldn't think there would be such different functionalities in versions all called "2.5," but this new installation of 2.5 is definitely different than my previous 2.5, in many details. Thanks, N.

Again, if anyone has any ideas, would be greatly appreciated (and would conserve my sanity). I would like the channel numbers in my EPG to appear as they do in the channel listing in TV Server Configuration (2001, 2002, etc.) or, even better, as they appear in my XmlTV channel mapping listing (2.1, 2.2, etc.), which must come from my data provider, Schedules Direct. As far as I can see, there is no way to change the way channel numbers appear in 2.5. Am I missing anything? Thanks, N.

Turn off zap by channel index by doing the following

Settings > plugins > TV> zap by channel index. Set to no

You can edit the channel numbers in TV-Server Configuration but can only use numbers

Add or Edit a Channel

With the help of the Add or Edit buttons on the lower left side of the TV Channels pane you can manually add a new channel without the need for a scan or edit the name or tuning details of an existing channel.

Thanks very much, Jasmeet. Worked. But note that this setting has moved, apparently, to: Settings > TV (not Plugins)
