I thought there was an option when setting up the backend to specify
"-", "." or none for channel separators.

I used "-" but I don't use it from the remote.

For example PBS in the US I have

11-1
11-2
11-3

Renamed the channels from Mythweb to

11
11-2
11-3

Suppose I could have done this from the channel editor on the backend
when setting up, but find Mythweb easier.

So if I need to get to the other channels I just go to 11 and then use
the channel up and down arrows
