Overlapping channel numbers

[Peter K]

Hi.

First, I just downloaded the software and have been playing it for about 2 days. WOW! I really like it.

I have a PVR-250 card with 2 video sources. Digital cable is going into the S-VIdeo port and and the satellite is going into composite port. (this will have to do until I get two cards.)

I have zap2it set up to provide 2 feeds.

The problem is that there are situations where the same channel number is used for different channels on each source. The EPG display handles it but just tosses the items that were duplicate at the end of ths list.

Is there any way the sort can be changed so that, for example, two channel 201s can be beside each other?

Thanks,

The global channel list sort order can be changed on the 'Channels' tab of the config application. Just edit the numbers show here to get them into the order you want. These channel numbers are not used for anything else, so feel free to make them anything you want. They dont have to match the real channel numbers (which you see when you edit the capture source).

Thanks Sub. That was exactly the information I was looking for.

Now what I did was I went into the gbpvr.mdb file and directly manipulated the "channel_number" field in the channel table since it's real easy in access to sort things based on the natural channel name order, then paste a list of numbers starting at 100 and 10 apart into the channel_number field.
(this lets me move channels around later. I have a total of 973 channels right now -- many of which I don't get or watch but I'll worry about that later.)

Hope that doesn't break anything. (I backed the database up just in case)

Thanks again. GBPVR really rocks!
