    Freesat - Wrong local BBC HD channel

    For about a week or so now, the guide or tv listing shows BBC1 London and local new as BBC London.
    I am in West Yorkshire and have BBC Yorkshire TV in ABM Providers.

    I have tried a reboot of my receiver which worked once, ie restored to correct TV area, then I restored a previous. old, backup, which again worked.
    Every time I switch on the receiver, the TV area has changed back to BBC London, and we can't watch our local news.

    What has caused this to happen and how do I fix it permanently.

    Thanks

    Might the box be running ABM at night and reverting to its new info?

    When you switch on box new channel list occurs and might be rechecking your locations from old and new if its changing

    I have no idea what the box does at night, but nothing actually changes regarding the provider list , ie BBC West Yorkshire. I can't understand why it changes in the channel list to BBC London. For a test I will leave the box switched on tonight to see what happens by the morning.

    Look up in ABM settings to see if this run at night and epg to download.
    Even if box is on it will run.
    Is this a sd or hd channel as things are going to be changing.
    Interesting as i checked my H7s and dont think i choose this setting?
    I live in Ireland 😂

    Unable to upload a photo or download like before.

    Region -BBC E midlands/ TV Yorkshire E.

    That is what is showing for Freesat for me.

    Yes the epg is set to download at sometime through the night, and it is an HD channel that changes. It's only recently started to do this .

    Upload pictures/debug log of your ABM run/settings.

    In my opinion, best to keep bouquet and EPG issues separate.

    I left the box turned on overnight, and this morning BBC1 West Yorks had changed back to BBC1 London. I found that this only happens on or with FreeSat all channels as it doesn't happen on or with FreeView

    I have attached 2 pictures of the ABM settings, and a picture of the debug log. Apologies if it is not what you want or mean.

    Have you rechecked Samba or Nfs are still running?

    Box has an internet ip and not changed as sometimes having a network issue and rebooting network on the box gives an ip in which the mount can be opened and mounted

    Ok, the password was the problem, as I didn't use any uppercase letters, Doh!

    Here is a debug log from earlier this morning

    I have just run ABM with your settings, the picture attached is what I get.

    Also, your next schedule is at 01:00
    11:01:44.7568 [ABM-Scheduler][scheduledate] Time set to Sun 10 Dec 2023 01:00:00 GMT (now=Sat 09 Dec 2023 11:01:44 GMT)

    If you start changing things in between, (restoring backups etc) we won't know what is happening. Stick to one thing and we can try and work out what is going on and hopefully find a solution.

    It was the swap. I have just deleted it, so please update the provider file using the option in the ABM menu.

    I'm not too sure what you mean about the swap which you deleted

    I only restored a previous backup so that we could watch our local news channels from Yorkshire, and not the ones from London.
    I think by tomorrow morning it may well have changed back to BBC London

    Here is a picture of ABM Providers, which now has BSkyB showing on the left side. I don't know how that happened??

    There was a swap between 101 and 106. I have deleted this on the provider file. Please just update the ABM provider file. Then run/execucte/scan ABM. If there is a problem, clearly state what the problem is. Do not change/restore anything. Do not add other variables/confusion.
