<div>I don't believe so. Another way around it might be to hand edit your database. It seems that if the channel is ATSC it orders by atsc_major_chan/atsc_minor_chan, but if not (and atsc_major_chan/atsc_minor_chan= 0/0) it orders by channum. The problem is when your analog channel 29 (OTA) is at say cable 8. Then I would want my digital channel to be at
8.1 not 29.1, but Myth will put it at 29.1. So to fix it you would meed to "move" your analog equivalent to 29 (and move whatever your cable company located at 29 to some other place).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>BTW - if you do compile yourself - you will need to make sure that atsc_major_chan/atsc_minor is 0/0 and that n.1 is in the chan_num column in your database otherwise Myth will try to order by atsc_major_chan/atsc_minor.

<div>Here is a link to a recent discussion where some of the developers/users addressed the issue:</div>
<div> </div>
<div><a href="http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2007-August/189882.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2007-August/189882.html
</a></div></div></span></div></blockquote><div><br>So since channum is used solely as a convenience to user (as a visual indication and means of navigating) would it be too crazy to just treat channum as a number (float?) and sort on it. Changing channum doesn't seem to affect BE too much as far as recording and EPG. So people could renumber their channels and have them sorted the way it should be sorted. With possibility that I will simplify things to the point where I'm talking nonsense, I'll say what does the whole atsc_major/minor mambo-jumbo have anything to do the with channel ordering?
