I agree with you, John. I don't obsess about channel numbering, but many certainly do. I have never really understood why people 'channel hop', which is a very lazy way to find programmes and results in you missing some or most of nearly every programme you end up watching, which is a most unsatisfactory experience.

Of course, even the channel hoppers could set their favourites, but I suspect they are far too lazy to do that!

The sad fact is that this is how many people do find the programmes they want to see and this is why the channels themselves like to have a position high up on the EPG.
