Hi Jim,
this helps a lot.
I can do this for the top 200 package for example, but I then still need
to figure out what channels are in the HD package and the HBO packages.
I just don't think dish makes this very easy for their subscribers (
using myth ).
Thanks for the input. It looks like it just has to be a very manual
method the first time.
Michael
