Re-mapping channels in Sage

[tvmaster2]

My cable company, Cox, is remapping all their channels next week from the 1,000’s to the 1’s, meaning channel 1002 becomes channel 2.

Because my satellite channels are also down in the 1-600 range, I can remap the Cox channels back to their 1,000 range in Sage I believe, correct? Logical channel vs. physical channel, correct?

Cox had duplicated their lineup the last 15 years since HD was introduced. SD were down low, HD were 1,000+

Now that SD is gone, they can finally go back to the 1+ channel #’s, which should be a relief to all the seniors who’ve been calling the last 15 years wondering what happened to ABC. lol.

Consider which provider is more likely to have ongoing channel # changes; manually remap #s for the most stable provider. My experience is that the cable co. is the most volatile, so I'd manually remap the sat channels (into the 2000 range, safe from whatever and whenever cable moves) and let the cable #'s move around at-will.

They’ve both been pretty stable, but if one has a noticeable excess of channels, then I’ll remap the opposite one.
