thanks, I was recalling that something had to be done so the channels (CNBC and such) had to appear in channels to allow us to create the stream link... I might be remembering that wrong.... if I may a parallel question..... from that discussion I have HBO and showtime showing on my grid perfectly with one exception the data source is HULU... is there a way to keep the grid (schedule as is) but when clicked it takes you to HBO or showtime via the HBO/showtime apps (in the same way the CNBC opens the NBC app and the cnbc channel with in that app?). i have tried to simply substitute hbo /show time but while I have other single channels that will take me to a series it wont basically take me to LIVE. we subscribe (one of the originals and last probably to Uverse)
here is what Hulu produces
this is what im using for perfect grid (schedule) to see what's on... but I can't directly access it

any tips or pointing me right direction would be greatly appreciated on how to modify the script to allow for channels to open directly whatever is on live in the appropriate app. even if its the UVERSE app?????
