I've successfully flashed and got the channels working again thanks to the likes of Sc0user and others. What do I need to do so that my channels are in some sort of reasonable order? do I need a regional channel dump .bin file or something. I really don't fancy putting them in order manually. I've had a look around here and can't find anything.
You need to get a channel file. if you have an old one then you need to convert it to the new format. See this post http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/721384
