Now that ntl have completed (I think) the software upgrade to Bromley areas, what's stopping ntl from doing this re-ordering now? Plus, fixing the incorrect names in the epg main guide ie: BBC Choice instead of BBC Three.

As I've said on other threads, it would be irrevelant when/if ntl re-order their channels if you could fully do it yourself. ie: having Hallmark on channel no 6 and in position 6 after channel five. This can be done on Freeview, why not ntl? I find the current favourites system useless. Although you can have the channel where you want, you can't change its number. I sure as hell can't remember that Sky One is 30, while Sky Mix is on 930, LivingTV on 111, while LivingTV +1 on ch 922, etc What a mess.

I'm not a fan of Sky's numbering system. But at least if you want to watch a news channel you know they start on 501, Sport on 401, Docs on 551, Kids on 601, Music on 631 etc. I certainly can't remember each number for all the channels, but I can remember the first number for each genre/category of channels.
