Garanada SD + Swap channels

[Sat-Junky]

Hi, I'm currently running ABM successfully for 28.2 and it's working very nicely except some non watchable hd channels are on the list first like channel 5 HD on 105 not swapping with 171 channel 5 and SkyNews HD on 501. some newer working HD channels aren't replacing existing channels like 795 &TV and 853 &tv HD. Can someone point me to right direction on where to edit these I don't want to go through the hassle on manually numbering all channels and redoing it again after every scan. Also it would be a pretty neat to have a option to hide non working HD channels from the list.

Select region ending in "Custom"

Thanks that's exactly what I needed. Would there be any further updates to include setanta HD and maybe a option to skip the SD channels after the swap?

Would there be any further updates to include setanta HDSwitch on "not indexed" channels in the expert menu.
and maybe a option to skip the SD channels after the swap?Not sure what you mean.

I've edited the provider to stop swapping non viewable HD channels such as channel 5 and sky news, added &tv to swapchannels , renamed BTSpt/ESPN HD to BtSpt//ESPNHD in swapchannels section so it works, added Setanda HD to list and few other regional channels in empty EPG slots.

What I wanted to do is skip channels that have been swapped for example BT Sport 1 has been swapped with BT Sport 1 HD so there's no point in having BT Sport 1 SD on the list as well.

If a target channel does not exist or is not in HD, swap will not take place. There was no need to edit the file.

If you want to skip channels, just add them to the blacklist section.

If a target channel does not exist or is not in HD, swap will not take place.Yep. Both source and target must exist, and the promoted channel must be HD. Deleting anything will mean no swap.

Ok that make sense. It's all working great now I was wondering if one of the autoscans could possibly cause issues when sky decides to add new channels on one of the empty slots I've added some channels from non indexed sections?
