[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1120308, member: 82144"] Yes, your understanding is correct... if you insist on using the SD plugin. Note that there are various ways of approaching this: [LIST=1] [*]Apparently you can rename the channels in your SD lineup (by logging in on their website etc.). [*]You can rename the channels in TV Server configuration. Don't forget that you don't need to do a full edit for the channel.

[/LIST] Of course they are all variations on the same theme. Ultimately a better solution would be to give the SD plugin the ability match on channel numbers for digital channels. Any interested developer could do this as the code is open source... In the meantime, another option would be to use mc2xml to get your SD data into an XMLTV file, then use the XMLTV plugin to import it. The XMLTV plugin has "fuzzy" name matching (ie. might get a better hit rate), and also enables you to manually fix mappings without renaming. [/QUOTE]
