So... what are "TV4" and "E6"?  Is "TV4" the station identifier
that the broadcaster says they are (like "CNN" or "HBO")?  And 
is "E6" the "channel" (though, not a number) that uniquely maps 
to the frequency?

Also, does "E6" exist all over europe, even though there might
be a different station there with different cable providers?

I'm guessing, but do your TV's (real TV's, not Myth/xawtv) then 
have numbers for the "slots"?  Is it something like this?

TV slot -> freq num -> station
1 -> E6 -> TV4
2 -> E8 -> ZTV
3 -> SE16 -> CNN

so, to watch ZTV, you change to "2" on your TV remote?
