Yes I did, in fact I've tried to take advantage of it to identify each 
of my networks by their network (i.e. NBC, CBS etc) since I have 3 of 
each network (national EST, national PST and local) this lets "any time 
on this channel" take advantage of the west channels (Any time on any 
channel pulls in too many with syndicated shows).  This has the side 
effect though of showing CBS for all my CBS stations in my OSD and EPG 
as well as others. A separate network ID would be nice so that I could 
differentiate between my networks by more than just channel number.

Sorry I should have been using "network ID".
