Issue with defining channel numbers

[RichU]

I use an ATI All-In-Wonder HD card for OTA signals via an antenna and coax cable. NPVR works great!

I use zap2xml to get listings from zap2it.com - now works OK after updating. (just posted my "tips") (Tried mc2xml, but it doesn't seem to fit with my N. America OTA, non-cable signals.)

But I wanted to expand my channel list - after updating my "favorite channels" at zap2it, I wanted to add additional channels in NPVR.

I tried adding 9.1, 9.2, and 9.3, as examples, because that is the way they show on my actual TV and on the Zap2it webite, and in the .xml file. I was trying to do this in Settings-Channels-Details . . . but it didn't seem to take. No decimals showed. Nowadays, TV stations generate additional stations beside the standard programming - say, continuous weather or news or additional programming.

Does NPVR only take integers (no decimals)? Do I do it somewhere else or another way? Would a work-around be to just use a running list of numbers - 1, 2, 3, 4, etc and artificially map them to real numbered stations? Which is kind of awkward.

Thanks.

Sorry, NextPVR doesn't accept decimal points in channel numbers. You'll need to allocate them normal channel numbers, like we use in the rest of the world

For OTA, I recommend multiplying the Major channel by 100 then adding the Minor Channel:

9.1 -> 901
9.2 -> 902
11.5 -> 1105

OK. Thanks for the info and a great suggestion!
