I think the service id only really differs with a regional station, while the national ones stay the same. BBC has regional variations, but for most the only difference is the 'local' news. ITV1 also has a different service id from that listed, but again there are regional differences. Sky News, TMF, BBC News24 & CBeebies all match those listed, but there are no regional differences for those stations. If you looked across the country, I'd be very surprised if any service id was re-used for a different station. -- Ian _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
