Thanks!<br>
<br>
No, Chanid I have not touched.<br>
<br>
(My STB reordered my channel list after a firmware upgrade, and it was easier to modify freqid and channum manually via mythweb then it was to re-build the channel list in the STB :) )<br></font></p></div></blockquote><div>
<br>IIRC channum is only used for display and for selecting a channel by typing it's number in LiveTV. If you have multiple sources you shouldn't give different channels the same channum even if the channels appear on different sources. Though you can (and generally should) give two channels the same number on different sources if they are two copies of the same channel.<br>
<br>Freqid is set to the channel change script you've specified for the source so this should be set to whatever the STB uses for it's channels. Channum is not relevant to the STB at all. You might want
to use the same numbers as it does for channels, but you don't have to.<br><br>When the STB changed its channel numbering you could have just updated the freqids and keep using the channel numbers you were used to in MythTV.<br>
