[MPlayer-users] Problems in viewing and encoding TV

Tue Jun 8 15:01:19 CEST 2004

You can assign channel numbers to channel names (like S22) with some 
parameter that you can put into a config file (.mplayer/config on my 
system) for your convenience. I can't tell you the parameter now because 
I'm at work and have no access to my config, but the man page will make 
you much smarter. It's something like 'chan-list'.

Best regards

Stefan
