Alright people!

Sorted my channels into favourites, and renamed in Voxer, saved my CDF and uploaded to my box. But how do I work out which of the tvCh1xx... channels are which mainstream channel? Do I just have to wing through them all writing down what they are then edit and upload them again in Voxer?

a lot ofthose channels are duplicates and some are only active at certain times of the day so you have to check them all at daytime and at night, so yes you have to do as you stated.

Sound cheers, I've pretty much done it now. Barring the porn, but I can find that another day.

One little thing, I renamed all the garbled names of channels in Eurovox from things like "Setanta~1" to "Setanta Sports 1" but the ends of some seem to be chopped off. Anyway to fix this or are there a limited number of chars for a name?

yes you are limited to a set amount of characters
