SMS channel names
The table below shows the channel numbers for your country or region, the names of the channels, and the short names that you can use in text messages to the Remote Control system. If a channel does not have an SMS name, you will have to schedule recordings on it using the channel number. If a channel doesn’t appear in this list at all, it is probably not possible to set recordings using Toppy Remote Control.
