[QUOTE="James, post: 123476, member: 12681"] Hi Peter, 1. Country names: I use the ISO country names because these are supported by .NET and the names can be displayed in the local language or english. Without me haven't to do any work (ie put strings in the language file etc). Also they are standardised, the same length, etc. 2. The cryptic channel codes, do indeed orignate from xmltv. However, not because of converting. I just started from there, and the idea was to try a have standard codes between different sites. If left to free text this my be harder to control? If IDs appear in the channels file then they will have a friendly name in the configuration program. It is just that no one has updated this in a long time (include me). /James [/QUOTE]
