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

I didn't say it was easy, I said that it was possible. The quote I was referring to said:

But then went on to say:

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.

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!
