Reordering Channel List

[sparksy01]

Is it possible to manage the order in which channels appear to a more common order? E.g. BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Ch 4, Ch 5 etc... At the moment they are listed as the tuner found them.

I've a DVB-T, which is plugged into the back of my Nettop PC, I'm using XBMC front-end mainly.

Also, I'm also looking to get a DVB-S2 connector and with the DVB-T in the same PC, would like to be able to combine a complete list of Freeview and Freesat HD channels.

Thanks in advance

In NextPVR, right-click and go to Settings->Channels. Set the channel number you want for each channel, they'll appear in numerical order. There's also a setting in XBMC about whether to use the channel numbers provided by the back-end.

Once you've scanned the channels on the DVB-S2 tuner in Settings->Devices, you'll find the new channels in Settings->Channels. If you want to merge the channels so that the scheduler can use either version of the channel for a scheduled recording, Ctrl-Click the two channels, then right-click the original channel and select "Merge"; repeat for all channels you want merged.

GREAT! Thanks very much. In fact thanks for both answers :-)
