[QUOTE="Laban, post: 162676, member: 53075"] It uses a very simple "algorithm" currently. 1: match by name, non case sensitive, so "Canal + Film" = "canal+ FILM" 2: no match -> remove the last word, if there are more then two, try again 3: no match -> take the 3 first letters, try again The above is of course doable. Though i'm not sure that it would be worth the effort. You'd probably run into the problem that you get a lot of incorrect partial matches and you'd have to go through them and "disable" the mapping. You shouldn't have to do these mappings that often either. This should show up anyway (see step 1,2,3), though you might not necessarily get the correct channel.
