Channels with (1) after them?

[djtaylor]

Something which I can't find the answer to, when I scan I find channels without problem but many of them have (1) after them so I end up with:-

BBC ONE
BBC ONE(1)

I have chosen the first one in channel mappings but what's the significance of the second one as that seems to work too?

there the same only they don't have sound!

[djtaylor]

Stupid question then, why would I want those?

[gEd]

only you can decide!

(I have no idea why they are there. Either the broadcaster is transmitting them or your dvb-t device generates seperate entries for each channel)

Yes noticed that too! Was going to ask but no need to now!

[djtaylor]

The puzzle continues, after rescanning I now have (1) all the way through (6)?!

Whatever, I just wondered what the significance was but it seems to not make much difference.

I've always meant to try the (1) version of BBC ONE during EastEnders or something, as I have a hunch these may be the Audio Description versions of the channels. Could be entirely wrong...
