Channel Names

[Morgan_50]

I have use SageTv for a while now and all this time the big problem for me is the channel setup
i have waited for a solution to change Channel name for Digital tuner setup and I cant find it?
When I was using analog tuner and XML it works great

I also have a iMac Pc an tried to install Eye-TV an connected my 2 extern tuner and it function perfect no useless name an number and I can rename channel move them op and down in the channel list.
if Eye-TV has the same options on media extender I move over straight away

eks. of my channel name in program guide
Channel name ----------- meant to be
1---65024-2000-101-13---------DR1
2---DR----------------------------DR2
3---3 65024-1090-2360-62------TV2

and so one many just with numbers an other have the same name with different numbers
it is useless and I hope that it is me that have misunderstood it all

my software
1 SageTV Media Center for windows
1 SageTv Media Center for linux (can't get it work)
4 PlaceShifter Connector license
my hardware
1 Techno Trend BDA/DVB Digutal Tuner
2 FireDTV Extern Digital Tuner
1 Happauge MediaMVP
1 SageTV HD-100
1 SageTV HD Theater

What version of Sage are running? You can remap and rename your channels now for awhile. Consult the latest Sage TV manual for how it is done.

Hi Gerry
I would be glad if you could point me to the location in the manual about renaming channel name.
I know about remap station → set the channel's station name those names are useless .
Info: I get EPG data from my cable provider (YouSee Denmark) it works fine except channel names

my SageTV ver. 6.6.2.218

Hmmm.. so are you just trying to change the displayed channel name in the guide? The EPG data is tied to ChannelID, not Name, so you MAY be able to 'create a new channel' with the name you want, and use the ChannelID that is currently being used. In the end, you can always swtich back to XML if you still have a decent source. from what I hear, the EPG data in the broadcast is usually a big questionable anyways.

yes i just trying to change the display channel name in the guide and EPG data from my provider is fine.

what is the .FRQ-file for. I tried to edit the names in the file and then do remap station → set the channel's station name but noting happens

I'd wil try to create a new channel as you recommend
