Yeah, 
The Program Information page looks something like:

Station         | # |      Channel Name      |
Channel         |       C##  - ### MHZ       |
Mode            | 2K - 1/32 - ##QAM - CR #/# | <-- this is Transmission Mode - Guard Interval - QAM - FEC
Provider        |        Provider Name       |
Service ID      | ##### |   Audio PID | #### |
Teletext ID     | ####  |   Video PID | #### |
Signal Strength |##################          |
Quality         |############################|


So its a matter of copying down the channels you watch the most since it is quite a tedious process.

As far as I know it seems to be the same, this is how I created my file. Try it and see :)

Yes thats the right order. I'm not sure if there are any applications that can read the teletext stream, so if anyone knows of any let me know, although I never really used it in windows so I'm not all that bothered.
