Does anyone know how to separate the top 5 from the rest of the field on a ticker

Have a look at the ATVO Theme example, it uses that split ticker (though with different numbers).

There are simply two tickers:
- The top one is a static ticker that shows 5 items.
- The bottom one is a paging ticker that shows however many items you want, and starts with a Data Offset of 5, so that the first item is P6.
