[linux-dvb] Re: UK DVB-T Freeview channel numbering

["Ed Wildgoose" <Ed@Wildgooses.com>]

This is excellent.  I had wondered how the set top boxes were re-ordering
channels into a more natural order.  At the very least it would be excellent
if scan would sort it's output by channel number

Thanks

service for use in VDR 1.2.xx. The channel numbers can be found in the NIT
table as the user-defined descriptor 0x83 and each channel number has a
corresponding Service ID which is included in the descriptor. My coding
skills are not excellent, so please feel free to amend the code if
necessary.
