This is probably a really simple question. But I wanted to ask before I go poking around in settings somewhere and maybe muck something up.
Is it possible to change the channel numbers NPVR sets when it gives you the listings? For instance, I have multiple tuners providing different sources of input. I have an analog input that gives me cable-ready (SD) channels. Then I have a digital input that gives me cable-ready (ATSC/QAM HD) channels. Then I have a 3rd input type that gives me free antenna (OTA SD/HD) inputs. The first tuner I established a lineup for was the analog. It gave me a rough estimate of some 50 channels and assigned them numbers based on their cable box counter parts. That's fine. The 2nd tuner though (digital) went and added a bunch (like 40) more channels, but isn't following a cable box routine. They're simply around 100-300 channel numbers. Many of these channels are duplicates of SD channels but are just digital versions. Lastly for the OTA tuners (I've yet to configure them) I'd like to have them properly numbered based on their OTA channel numbers. For instance, this is my typical line up:
SD (analog) tuner
4 - NBC
6 - ABC
10 - CBS
28 - FOX
34 - PBS
53 - WB
DT (digital) tuner
132 - ABC
167 - CBS
174 - NBC HD
206 - PBS
247 - WB HD
262 - ABC HD
305 - FOX HD
307 - PBS HD
etc (note that I am receiving both SD and HD versions of the same channels in some instances)
OTA (digital) tuner
4.1 - NBC HD
4.2 - sub (getTV?)
4.3 - sub (retroTV?)
6.1 - ABC HD
6.2 - sub (thisTV?)
6.3 - sub (?)
10.1 - CBS HD
10.2 - sub (weather?)
10.3 - sub (?)
28.1 - FOX HD
etc (note that these are what are broadcast in my area, and national channels are HD)
I'd like to have it list in KODI as:
4 - NBC
4a - NBC (DT SD)
4b - NBC (DT HD)
4.1 - NBC HD
4.2 - sub (getTV?)
4.3 - sub (retroTV?)
6 - ABC
6a - ABC (DT SD)
6b - ABC (DT HD)
6.1 - ABC HD
etc (essentialy, all NBC's grouped together increasing in various qualities, then all ABC's, etc)
Is something like this possible? The channels numbers in the DT range are made up (I'm not looking at it) but hopefully you get the gist. I have ANALOG (SD) versions of multiple channels, as well as DIGITAL (SD) versions of the same channels, and again DIGITAL (HD) versions of them, and lastly DIGITAL (OTA) versions that are also SD/HD (depending on what the source is). Left alone, they're scattered throughout the list. I can always sort alphabetically, but I prefer channel numbers.
