ok, then I don't know where and how should I set up the channel names 
and numbers/frequencies for Tuner0... There is a channel editor in 
setup... but it doesn't seem that I can set up anything there (or 
rather, all the defaults that I got from zap2it look OK). And there is 
nothing in front end setup that would allow me to do that... Can you 
please hint :-[
