    Cable and FTA Sky UK CustomMix HELP

    I'm trying to setup the virgin custom FTA mix but i can't seem to get the 1-5 HD channels to appear first instead of SD in the all channels and entertainment lists, where am I going wrong?

    Also, any way to keep the numbering the same in the individual bouquet sections the same as the all channels list, for example 101,102,103,104,105

    I'm trying to achieve all FTA channels via DVB-S2 and all other channels via DVB-C

    Any help would be much appreciated

    Thanks,

    Try the alternative numbers so if using 101 from sky try 115 in the inserts.

    As for the channel numbers issue that's the way enigma2 works for it to create all channels bouquet and separate bouquets it has to duplicate each channel to place them in separate bouquets, either set virgin uk generate main bouquet no that will mean the section bouquets are correct or have a look at this hack for channel numbers on epg http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...l=1#post368824 that will break SNP picons though.

    Enable swap for Virgin: this will swap SD services for HD ones
    Main Bouquet: This must not be "Yes, all channels". You will not have an "all channels Bouquet", entertainment bouquet will start at 101,

    Turned of the main channel list and it has indeed fixed the numbering in each bouquet, channel numbers are still different to sky but i can live with that (sports start 501 instead of 401)

    Still can't get 1-5 to switch with the HD channels.

    Used your sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.xml for a long time and had none of these issues it just worked.

    Posted before seeing your response Andy, I'm just trying it now.

    For the sports etc thats Virgin UK channels numbering. For HD channels first change Virgin UK channel swap yes then rescan. I have noticed a few HD channels need adding channel 4 and 5 HD, So at the moment if you switch Virgin UK channel swap yes youll have 1 to 3 HD from sat then 4 and 5 HD from Virgin.

    Im going though these swaps now

    Thanks Andy that fixed the 1-5 HD channels

    Is there no way to retain the sky numbering in this setup, for example sky 1 hd is now 109 instead of 106 etc

    If you do your own custommix yes but there is too many differences between sat and cable it will be hard to do them all as there isnt as many Virgin channels compared to Sky

    Thanks Dsayers I'll look out for a updated file.

    How was it that with the other virgin and sky custom mix file it managed to retain the sky numbering, was this because that was a sky base adding virgin channels in where this is a virgin base adding a few sky fta channels in?

    Going to Dsayers CustomMix Importer and pressing yellow pulls down the sky/virgin custom mix and not the FTA/Virgin one.

    Updated manually from github and rescanned, 4&5 are now DVB-S

    @Abu

    On a side note I have just gone to update ABM's config files and got the below error, I'm on the latest vix release 5.0.027

    Attachment 54942

    Are you aware of the issue?

    The plugin has been updated recently to download various custommixes you should be able to update it then youll see you can press right on Import to Dsayers: Sky UK free to air channels into Virgin Media UK

    We are in process in adding an extra check for lock status. This is why version has been increased. If you are 027, you have latest provider files anyway.
