AutoBouquetsMaker and epg help

[joaoasilva]

Hi everyone,

First of all thanks everyone for the help to decide on a box, got the VU+ solo2 :)
I'm probably mixing things but here is the thing, I've disconnected my sly box so I'm using a sly dish facing the sky :)
On Autobouquet, I've the option to select freesat and sky, both give me the same channels and It's confusing when I go to the list, the question is, should I be using freesat and sky at the same time?
On Epg there are different sources were I can download the epg from, should I just enable one? What's the best in your opinion?

Thanks.

Opentv 28.2 will service the epg of both sky and freesat.
It depends on whether or not you have a viewing card, if yes scan your sky region, if not scan your freesat region.
There is nothing that says you can't create bouquets for both if you so wish.

Please clarify which you are refering to. AutoBoquetsMaker and AutoBouquets are two separate plugins.

Yes, I still have my card, but do I have channels on freesat list that I don't have on the Sly list? Or Sly have exactly the same plus the premium ones?

@abu good question, the one that's installed by default on the latest OpenVix Image... :)

There are a few channels on Freesat not on the Sky line up.

[joaoasilva]

So the best is to use both, right? How can I handle duplicates?

Thread title changed

Both providers can be run without creating bouquets. That allows you to use custom mix and inject channels into the one you create.

[abu baniaz]

Also a good idea to enable the "not indexed" option.

[joaoasilva]

Can you elaborate on what does that do?

Thanks

[abu baniaz]

That adds channels that are not on the offficial line up.

Opentv 28.2 will service the epg of both sky and freesat.For people just using Freesat, there is no need to use CrossEPG or OpenTV at all.
