For those of you who have heard of VCR PLUS+, does anyone know how the
date, channel, start time and stop time are encoded into the program
number?  Here are examples:

4-23; Channel 25; 20:00; 23:00 ==> 473323
4-23; Channel 38; 20:00; 23:00 ==> 716694
4-21; Channel  4; 21:00; 23:00 ==>   9711

I can't make rhyme or reason out of it, Watson.
