Hi all,

I'm trying to sort the channel list into a more natural order (BBC1, BBC2, BBC3, etc). I've corrected the order in the TV Server configuration dialog box but the order on the TV Guide is still incorrect. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Bob.

I cant remember offhand, but one of the screens lets you click the column heading and arrange them by name - this is what I have done - makes finding channels very easy.

hi Dodgy Bob (great nick)

You need to do this under the "all channels" tab otherwise the epg does not reflect the changes.

It will do it in the "normal" channels tab on a new install, but not after

you may have to stop\start TVServer to reflect the changes.

Thanks PD, that did the trick. Bit annoying that it isn't clear and I spent quite a while doing it on the channels tab.

Along the same lines how do I rename a channel? I've renamed S4/C on both the channels and all tabs to S4C but it's still showing as S4/C in the guide?

Channels list, double click on name of channel, should open a window with the channel name and a tick next to it saying show in TV guide, editing that name worked for me.

Thanks again PD, I think your help here deserves a little "Thanks" vote

Little things like this really should be in the manual.
