What would be great is if the server would renumber these to fit them in the US channel line up (since they're US channels) somewhere in the 100's or 200's instead of being in the 8000's. Unless you know the exact channel number (which most don't) you have to scroll through a bunch of foreign channels to get to the US network channels. If nothing else, put them in the single/double digit line up channels 1 through 20. The reason why they are in the 8000's is because the server is trying to match Dish Networks channel line up. That's all fine and dandy, but the 8000 stuff was because of the illegitimate MPEG2/4 receivers we used. Legitimate receivers have the networks in the single/double digits.

I just downloaded the m3u playlist and customized it. I have ABC, NBC,CBS and FOX stations at the stating of my list. I only have the USA and UK channels on my list. From time to time I will re-download the playlist to see if any channels have been added or removed and tweak my custom m3u file. You can also create an xml file to match your m3u list to get your epg info. I have a fully populated tv guide with only 256 stations. It's rather nice and not bloated with 1000's of stations that I would never use.

I agree, the playlist is nice because I can cull out the channels I don't watch, and move channels around. However, I still prefer the MAC method because if channels change (get removed or added), it's automatic with MAC. Plus I like to use the record/timer features on the BuzzTV that is only available through the MAC method. Can't set timers and record through any M3U software that I'm aware of.

next update you'll be able to do that

kens posted an m3u template awhile back that had all the Network channels located from 2 to 70, and from East coast to West coast.
Check here http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?...e-*Channel-s-amp-HD-s-replace-the-SD-Channels
(just for reference, as this is not up to date, but shows how he added Null channels to acheive proper channel numbering in an m3u file.)

*Also, IPTVXtra2 relocates all the ntwk channels, as well.
