[kaffeine-user] Kaffeine and LCN (Logical Channel Number)

[Alfredo P. <alf...@gm...>]

Hi there,

In Italy, where I live, we're switching to DVB-T (analog TV is being
shut down). For this reason I bought some set-top-boxes (STB) for my
parents' TVs, and one DVB-T USB card for my computer.

After frequency scan, my parents' STBs automatically assign channels
the "right" number (like "Channel One" goes on 1, "Channel Two" on 2
and so on), while I can't get the same behaviour on Kaffeine: channels
are ordered alphabetically.

I browsed a bit, and found people talking about "Logical Channel
Number" (LCN). 1) Is LCN something "hardcoded" in the STBs, or 2) is
LCN information broadcast by the DVB-T providers? Is in any case
possible to have this feature in Kaffeine, 1) by creating localized
configuration files, or 2) by reading the LCN field from the DVB-T
signal?

Thank you very much for the support. (And of course Kaffeine rocks! ;-) )

Regards,
Alfredo
