ordering<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV id=mb_0>I was lucky to have tone of digital channels on my cable (QAM)
when I moved so I got the HDHomeRun recently to complement the pvr500 I
already had in the system. For the last couple of days I was going through the
ordeal of mapping channels to their real numbers/names. <BR><BR>Back when I
had hd2000 I remember digital channels showing up correctly in FE. Like, 4
WNBC comes before 4.1 WNBCHD etc. Now I have channels sorted seemingly in
random order. The SD channels are sorted fine, but digital channels are all
over the place. I triple checked my ordering preferences and for the life of
me I can't figure out what logic FE is using to sort the channels. I tried
numbering digital channels like 4.1 and 4#1.<BR><BR>The only thing that worked
properly was giving digital channel the same number but different call
letters, i.e. 4 WNBC, 4 WNBCHD and different xmltvid. Then they showed up
together. Is there any problem with having different channels have the same
channum? Is there any other way of doing this? To make things worse Mythweb is
behaving differently and using this scheme makes digital channels disappear in
the listing (they are still there in the channel lineup). I guess Mythweb only
uses channel numbers and since there are duplicates, it removes the new
channels. <BR><BR>Is the problem coming from the fact that channum in the db
is varchar and not a number, so 'order by' doesn't work as expected
<BR><BR>Overall, I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with HDHR so far. The
only glitch is that most of the time watching live HD program is not possible
due to hickups and lag. Oddly enough watching same program on my laptop in vnc
over wifi works better!? I guess there is no disk r/w involved. But recorded
show play beautifully with no problems so far (cross my
fingers).<BR><BR>Thanks for any insight.<BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
