In my view this is exactly the sort of application for which the "tv:" URI scheme is suited. If I understand you correctly, the application is running on a web server at the cable head end (or closely associated with the cable head end). It knows everything about the channels on the receiver where the client is running. Thus, a reference to a channel number is unambiguous. YES, BUT ONLY IF THE BOX HAS NO OTHER INPUTS! We were not willing to design to this restriction. Hence, it is not acceptable for a cable system to use "tv:#" and expect it to be unambiguous. Craig
