    Swapping Sky HD Channels With VM HD Channels

    Hi everyone,

    I've been looking around the forum but Im completely stuck. What I want to do is use my main sky uk bouquet but swap some of the non working hd channels from my sky bouquet with the vm hd channels. I would also like to keep the numbering the same as the sky bouquet. E.g. Sky one HD = 106 but should jump to the cable version.

    I tried to create a custommix.xml file to test one channel swap but it didnt work. This is what I have so far:

    <custommix>
    <inserts>
    <insert provider="cable_uk_virgin" source="9109" target="106"></insert> <!-- sky one hd -->
    </inserts>
    </custommix>

    The file is named:sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.xml

    Could someone point me in the right direction please?

    Thank you

    The "source" is the official number of the channel, not the "number" it has in your bouquets

    There was a custom mix file from dsayers

    you could have a look here https://github.com/davesayers2014/Au..._CustomMix.xml

    what you want is the target number first then the source number the scource number needs to be the official channel number ie sky 1 vm is 109 so it would be

    <insert target="106" source="109" provider="cable_uk_virgin" ></insert> <!-- sky one hd -->

    If the channel numbers change would this require me to change the xml manually?
