How do I change channel names on a 100% working setup?

Hi

I have a working system with Foxtel and FTA Digital TV.
I am using Bladerunner pro 3.5 - Thanks to everyone on this site to get everything working.

My question is simple how do I change the channel names in the guide? ie. Once I have added listings to channels MCE has changed the name of the channel to whatever its called at OzTivo

ie BBC World is called BBC - How do I force the guide to call BBC - 'BBC World' again.

Is it in the channelinfo.xml?

Thanks for your help

Re: How do I change channel names on a 100% working setup?

I'm not sure if this what your trying to do; but if you want to change the name of the channel as viewed in MCE this is what to do:
-The file you want is channelInfo.xml - should be found here C:\WINDOWS\ehome\BladeRunnerPro\QuickGuide
-Right click and open with notepad
-Find the channel you want to change the name of ie:
<channel>
<name>ABC-SA</name>
<channelID>ABC-SA</channelID>
<virtualchannel>4</virtualchannel>
</channel>
-The part you want to change is the name. Say you wanted to change the name to ABC-123 it would look like this:
<channel>
<name>ABC-123</name>
<channelID>ABC-SA</channelID>
<virtualchannel>4</virtualchannel>
</channel>
-Save and close
-Run BladeRunner
-Update your listings within MCE so "Settings,TV,Guide,Get Latest Guide Listings"
-You then have to add the listing with the new name to the channel so "Settings,TV,Guide,Add Listings To Channel"
-Hey presto your channel should now have a new name.

This is how i changed the title of a channel, and its working fine. Hope this helps you with your problem

Phil
