ABM (UK-Terrestrail ): Add HD channels/regions.

[abu baniaz]

Peter has continued the marvellous work on ABM so that we can now use ABM for HD Terrestrial channels. However, there is a slight snag, the details are not available on the stream automatically. We need users to provide stream IDs. After that we can add to ABM and it should be fine.

Please use the attached plugin which has a script by Huevos to obtain the relevant data.

You can find your mast from this site by Brian Butterworth:

https://ukfree.tv/maps/alphabetical

Check the website above and find out your mast details. We need to know where your aerial is pointing to. This is not necessarily the nearest one.
Copy/save the link to your mast. You will have to post this later.

1. Make a settings backup so that you can restore it after testing.

Blue Button > Vix > Backup Manager > Green Button (New Backup)

See following thread if you need further details:

https://www.world-of-satellite.com/s...-and-Restores/

2. We need to ensure you start from "zero", so you must delete the existing terrestrial services.

Press channel up > Green (satellites), highlight "Terrestrial - Services" > Menu > Remove terrestrial services > OK to confirm > Restart

3. Install the attached plugin. (Transfer to /tmp. Blue > Vix > Install local extension)

4. Install the Terrestrial scan plugin.
Menu > Green (download plugins) > Scroll to "System plugins" > OK to expand > Scroll to "terrestrialscan" > OK to install > Confirm the installation

5. Scan using the terrestrial scan plugin
Menu > Setup > Tuner config / service searching > Terrestrial scan > Leave as default > Green to scan

6. Restart the receiver using your remote. Check services on different muxes are working fine

7. Run the plugin "ABM UK T2 xml Creator". It will create a file called "terrestrial_Custom_transponder.xml_xxxx.zip" in /tmp/
This will also add your lamedb filles in the zip file.

8. Save the file to your PC and attach to your post

9. Please also post a link to your mast on the UKfree website. This makes it easier to compare.

10. You can remove the "abmt2xmlmaker" plugin afterwards

Logs for the the following transmitters are required. The ones that have been done will be moved to post 2.

Please start your own thread.

If you perform a manual scan first, a subsequent run of ABM will use the details in lamedb file even if details have not been added to ABM.
