[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 188331, member: 50013"] Thanks for your reply but it is not that simple in the UK. Our freeview (DVB-T) contains about 52 TV Channels but when we look in newspapers of weekly TV guides, they use numbers 1-99 so there are channel numbers in the overall range that don't exist. Ordering the channel lineup in MP is quite straightforward, but as soon as there is a gap in the channel numbers, it is impossible to relate the MP channel numbers to the standard UK listings. Eg. as Walkerx has mentioned below, typing channel 70 on the remote should bring up CBBC and 80 should be BBC News 24, but there are only 52 (*) channels available. Pressing the 'next channel' button when viewing channel 72 should take you to the next available one (channel 80 - BBC News). All DVB-T set top boxes, proprietary PVRs, and even Microsoft Media Centre work this way in the UK * this number varies a bit according to where you are in the country and how good your reception is.
