[QUOTE="natrlhy, post: 79399, member: 23624"] This does look like a great utility Hesse! I was wondering if this plugin addresses the following: I currently have DirecTV with over 300 channels. When I try to change the channel to an external channel on the STB, and I press say, 231 on the remote, it either goes to channel 2 or 23 (this of course depends on the order of the channels in the TV Channel database and how fast I can press the buttons on my MCE remote). I am wondering if this plugin includes or could include the ability to populate the TV Channels with "dummy" channels. This would give me the ability to then enter channel 231 when viewing the TV Guide or Live TV and then have my STB change to that channel (I change channels via a serial cable, not IR). This is my understanding of being able to change channels using the number pad on the remote for DirecTV settop boxes (unless I am wrong). I hope this makes sense. I haven't tried this plugin yet (I can't wait to though!). It sounds like it just sorts the channels (yes, a big pain at first) but I'm hoping it can do what I have mentioned above. [/QUOTE]
