EPG Auto Match

You can order it in Tools > Options > Television > Manage Channels. The default is to order them by channel number/channel name combination.

I already do that to sort in alpha order for the channels. What I was referring to is the matching up screen has all the channels scrambled in non alpha order. It is the matching screen that needs to be ordered for easier use.

--- Quote ---3: Why is matching up even needed in the first place? The user never sees them in WMC or other programs that I've used.
There are channels whose names do not agree with the names supplied by EPG source.

Could this be handled out of view of the user UNLESS there are channels whose names do not agree with the names supplied by EPG source? This way the user would never see the matching screen unless there was a mismatch.

Probably, but why have the developers spend a bunch of time on one thing that is only a small annoyance "once" during TV setup. IMO, there are a bunch of things that (I hope) the Developers will spend their time on first. Then perhaps come back to this when everything else is finished. ;)
Just look at the "Feature Request" list.

True. But as I mentioned...
--- Quote ---I ran into a MC21 bug reported elsewhere that required a complete wipe of TV settings to stop mcxml from continually re-prompting for setup details. Wiping the settings meant having to again hand-assign all of my channels.
Yes, that has happen to me on more times than I like to admit & is MOST frustrating indeed.

Because of the above I really hate having to do a reset of the TV data (for whatever reason) as it means having to match up all the channels once again.
For you is may be no big deal but for me it has been a real pain. As TV is now my main focus (since moving from WMC to MCTV) I'm playing "catch up" in the learning curve. My experience with MC is almost completely audio (going back to ver. 7) MCTV is relatively new to me & is fast becoming most important.
CountryBumkin:
I didn't mean to belittle your issue/suggestion. I just meant that once the TV stuff is set up properly (and there are some TV setup issues currently being worked on now) you won't need to go through the setup again.
