Custom Channel Numbering
Posted: Thu Jul 20, 2017 3:57 am
I am sure someone has answered and I failed in finding it... but heavily contemplating jumping over to EPG123 and while reading the install PDF and other threads to map out what to do and avoid problems I saw this.
"15. Selecting the ‘Automatically match stations to channels’ checkbox will direct EPG123 to attach the listings of a station to the guide channel by matching the channel numbers. This setting will be overridden by the scheduled task if different.
NOTE
The automatic match routine uses the original channel numbers of the scanned tuners to determine a match. Custom numbers are ignored. If the subscribed lineup channel numbers are not correct for your provider/region, DO NOT select this option."
I can be obtuse at times when reading things... does this mean that if I turn a Disney channel that is listed as 289 and customize the channel number to be 89 instead that EPG123 won't work properly when pulling down listings? I was in the habit previously of removing ANY SD channels from my listings that had an HD counterpart and then re-numbering them in order to make memorization easier for wife and kids (and I hate using triple and quad digit numbers when I can just use simpler lower numbers instead).
Or does it mean something different and I am just not grasping it?
