Of the ones that are left i dont know if it would be more logical to order them by name

Say bbc in a block channel 4 in a block
Time of day viewing..swaying to this
Type of channel..ie news film

So yours are grouped by corporation
Yeah where to put the +1s, was thinking partly wondering if next to the non +1

Yes, I do it as per Sky's channel line up. It's what I'm used to and it helps when setting up the guide data and channels if there's any transponder moves.

I just order them according to how much I watch them so that I can see my favourite channels on a single guide screen. It's one of my favourite HTPC features.

Something like:
BBC HD
BBC1 HD
BBC2
Channel 4 HD
Channel 4+1
BBC4
Film4
+the rest

I think im going to go for something similar. I have already demoted c5 and removed all the bid channels lol. There are also certain channels i watch at certain times. Like viva at night

Personally I tend to start with the traditional channels and then arrange the rest by channel groupings, so ...

BBC1, BBC2, ITV, CH4, CH5
(BBC3, BBC4)
(ITV# (including +1's in order))
(CH4 channels)
(CH5 channels)
(Dave/Pick/Quest and a few others)
(BBC News24, Sky News)

I tend to drop off all the other shopping/bid/etc channels as I'm not interested in them. If I have the option to set channel numbers I put the traditional channels on 1-5 then the other BBC channels starting at 10, ITV's at 20 etc ... gives some elbow room if things change.
