Hi Ant, Thanks for that info. I did try doing that originally, but when I had the freqid the same as the channum (e.g. 106 for Sky One) whenever I tried pressing up/down on the cursor keys, or indeed any channel navigation I just got a load of CheckChannel() error messages saying things like "No such channel 'E9'", etc. Obviously it's looking for frequencies in the "europe-west" frequency table as this was how I set it up originally, but how can I get it to just accept the channel numbers as freqids (e.g. 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 124, 127, etc) without complaining about missing channels? Thanks, Darren
