Hi Jan,

There's no easy way to do this unfortunately because of the way the Atlas data provider supplies the data. However if you go to my Github site there you will find some data files which I created a little while ago:  https://github.com/honir/tv_grab_uk_atlas/tree/master/data

The files map_all.sort_title.txt  platforms.txt and regions.txt are likely to be the most useful to you.

Since these files are 9 months old there will be a few changes for recently added channels, but it will at least give you an idea which channels are in which lineup.

You could also ask your cable provider where they get their feed from: it is likely to be either Virgin or Sky HD, for London region, I would expect.

Regards,
Geoff
