Decimal numbers for channel numbers?

[spinnaker]

Yeah I know I am just full of ideas. Or full of it.

I record OTA so hence my channels in the real world have decimal numbers for sub channels. It would be nice to be able to enter decimal numbers for the channel number so that I can sort the channels just as they come from the broadcast stations. What I currently do is to include the real channel number in the description and that helps a bit.

BTW If you edit a channel and enter a decimal point for the channel, you get an unhandled exception.

You are also not the first to make this request. I wanted this at first too, but now I am happy with the channels mapped to the number the cable co (and my local TV guide gives). The OTA channels here never even refer to the digital channel so the only advantage is it maps to channels scans on the TV itself.

I'm happy with the way I've now set up my channels, but I was wondering why they scan in a completely different order to my tv! Got it! Thanks for info.
