the default TV screen looks for tv information sent as
bbc1,bbc2,itv1,channel4,channel5 . It is possible that xAPTV's listings
for your area have slightly different names. A good way to see what is
happening is a very good tool called Viewer. (www.xapframework.net) .
When running it shows all the xAP messages and sorts them into a
hierarchy . Leave viewer running for 20 minutes or so and it will show
all you devices. Look for one called mi4.tvradio.YourPCName:XYZ  and see
if there is an entry for each channel and in particular what they are
called.
If for example you find your bbc1 is called  north_bbc1  then open up
the xaptv.txt file from your xAPTV directory and add a line like this:
Name=north_bbc1,bbc1
(Close xAPTv before editing the file though)
