Sub - when mapping digital channels to EPG ones it would be useful to have a checkbox or similar to tell it NOT to attempt to identify which channel should go where automatically.
The reason I say this is that certain Freeview channels only broadcast at certain times of the day so to properly setup my tuning/EPG, I have to do two separate scans. Unfortunately, on the second scan, whichever channels aren't currently transmitting (but were correctly mapped on the first scan when they were transmitting) get overwritten with incorrect channel information.
I can see it's a useful function if someone has loads of channels to map but my XML EPG only has 18 and only 13 of those get mapped to the digital cards so it doesn't take me too long to do it manually.
Cheers,
Brian
