Looks promising if a little time consuming to get the file sorted
initially.

One question, the file it creates, can i put comments anywhere in the file?
 i would like to divide it up into sections to make it easier to read.

So something like.

#BBC Channels
channel data here
#ITV Channels
Channel Data Here

Does anyone have a suitable file i can borrow for the SW of England?

Thanks again

Chris
