Which basically means that it is possible to change it. :confused: All that is needed is to re-install the box.

no it isnt that simple, they would have to send special code to the box to reconenct via the other headend, but that would mean you box would be slower, the box conencts to the closesst headend for speed etc

But then went on to say:

Quote:

eg if in manchester you are after news from the midlands they could have the box set to stoke area where midlands news is broadcast.
or if you wanted say granada regional in stoke for example they could set the box to a manchester id to make it select the granada itv and northwest BBC channels.

Which kind of contradicted what they said at the beginning of their post.

That's okay Andrew, after reading my post again, I can see how it could have been misinterpreted. I suppose I did over-simplify my assumption. :)

Had new digital box insyalled Jan 2010. Channels 101 & 103 are London but we want Anglia. These are available on channels 858 & 870. I understand about the headend but it would be very useful to be able to re-order the favorites list. At the moment they are in channel number order so that 858 & 870 are at the bottom of the list or on the next page. Can this be done and if not what about putting it on your TODO list!

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 02:27.
