Swapping Sky HD Channels With VM HD Channels

[avi68]

Hi everyone,

I've been looking around the forum but Im completely stuck. What I want to do is use my main sky uk bouquet but swap some of the non working hd channels from my sky bouquet with the vm hd channels. I would also like to keep the numbering the same as the sky bouquet. E.g. Sky one HD = 106 but should jump to the cable version.

I tried to create a custommix.xml file to test one channel swap but it didnt work. This is what I have so far:

<custommix>
<inserts>
<insert provider="cable_uk_virgin" source="9109" target="106"></insert> <!-- sky one hd -->
</inserts>
</custommix>

The file is named:sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.xml

Could someone point me in the right direction please?

Thank you :)

The "source" is the official number of the channel, not the "number" it has in your bouquets

There was a custom mix file from dsayers

you could have a look here https://github.com/davesayers2014/AutoBouquetsMaker/blob/006ba22ee8df64bd3a93f3271376a8d688b57013/AutoBouquetsMaker/custom/sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.xml

what you want is the target number first then the source number the scource number needs to be the official channel number ie sky 1 vm is 109 so it would be

<insert target="106" source="109" provider="cable_uk_virgin" ></insert> <!-- sky one hd -->

Is it still in beta?

If the channel numbers change would this require me to change the xml manually?
