    Reference web page at
    Code:
    http://www.admac.myzen.co.uk/E2_scan/
    First, set up your tuners as in image 1 in the web page link [Menu -> Setup -> Tuner config -> and for each of your terrestrial tuners]

    Note: In the tuner set-up set the region to UK all regions (Europe DVB-T/T2) and NOT a specific UK region/transmitter
    Make sure that you set T2 and not T - T2 gives you both SD and HD channels.

    For each tuner PRESS GREEN to save setting

    Second, menu -> setup -> EPG -> Graphical EPG -> Show Bouquets on launch = yes

    PRESS GREEN to save setting

    Third, set up AutobouquetMaker as in image 2 - freeview section [Menu - Setup -> Tuner Configuration - AutoBouquesmaker -> Providers]

    Notes: I have both satellite and Terrestrial tuners so the AutobouquetMaker page shows both Freesat and Freeview - you can ignore the Freesat settings and say no to them.
    My transmitter is Bluebell Hill - you need to select your transmitter from the list - highlight the Freeview uk: area option and use the > button on the remote to go through the list.

    PRESS GREEN to save setting
    Press Green to scan (or select start scan)

    menu -> setup -> EPG -> settings -> Enable EIT EPG -- this should populate the Freeview EPG from over the air data - it may take a few minutes to populate the first time you use it.
    PRESS GREEN to save setting

    Press the guide button on your remote.

    This should get you working but there is a lot more you can do to configure or change to get a better looking program guide - re-arranging channels, deleting junk channels etc.

    If you don't get the HD channels on your transmitter post back.
