So I'll share my information, and perhaps someone with far better skill then I can fix it.There is already a check box under TV setup that accommodates this, index by something - non US.  Following that code through, it ends up to be 4 places to change code.TvFullScreen.cs: There is code in here to force a channel change after 2 keystrokes - needs to be taken out There is code in here to force a previous channel when 0 is hit.  Needs to be moved to the timeout section, and checked for only 0 before a prev channel.tvguidebase.cs Same sort of things, but no channel changes... just jumps.tvminiguide.cs Same sort of things.Finally, TVHOME.cspublic void ZapToChannelNumber(int channelNr, bool useZapDelay)Although it says channelnumber, it's actually using indexing in group to zap.  This needs to be change to look at the column channelnumber in the table tvdetails.Analog cable is the only channel I see populating this column which is good.  USUALY NA channel numbers don't overlap.  And/or that is where channel mapping would come in handy.  Channel number zapping should obey groups, to avoid conflict with same channel numbers.The last thing to note on this is there exists a:public void ZapToChannel(Channel channel, bool useZapDelay)This is used to zap by index, so implementing the above ideas should not conflict.One day, I'll be able to fix this myself, but until that day, I'll be happy to read code!<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
