[ABM-MISC] new autobouqets when all HD channel go??

[DaMacFunkin]

Hi andyblac,

So if I select Sheffield SD as my region, you're saying Sky Premier SD will become 301, Sky Sports News SD will become 405 etc?

Thanks in advance.

yes and your 101 will become sd, your 103 will become sd, your 104 will become sd...

 

[DaMacFunkin]

Thats exactly what the HD Swap option is for.

Your really not listening...

 

[Larry-G]

yes and your 101 will become sd, your 103 will become sd, your 104 will become sd...

And then you enable the HD swap option which will place the HD terrestrial channels into the premium slots of 101 to 105 even with SD set as your providers regions.

Where is the HD Swap option now? It used to be in ABM and under providers. Can't see it in there now?

Penny has dropped. There is a filter for which regions do HD swap. Need to discuss with Andy.

just checked hd swap option is not there anymore

The HD swap option is only available when you select 'Region'HD not 'Region'SD.

andylac, Is this something that can be implemented in the new ViX build? pppllleeeaaassseeee. ppprrreeetttyyy pppllleeeaaassseeee.

I can't see SD going anytime soon though. Still way too many old multi-room SD boxes waiting to be swapped out (in Ireland, don't know about UK?) & replaced with a box that can support the new encryption method.
Just speculation on my part though...

thats not what a sky manager told me yesterday when i called to discuss my subscription, to cut a long sorry sort there doing tests on HD channels now moving them one by one, should all be done by end of June/July, SD will also be all off by end of year, all the white boxes can be upgraded free of charge when they start to migrate over to new system, but again you have to sign the multiroom subscription for a 12 month contract (separate to the main subscription).

i was on the phone to a sky manager discussing all sorts yesterday, i was trying to get them to reactivate me on the old system. but i was told it is not possible as it is hardware dependent. thats why the need for new boxes. in the end i cancelled my subscription.

What a massive pain. Can see a lot more folks cancelling SKY subs so.

I only wish that my Virgin card would work in a Duo2 or similar with a cable Tuner fitted

Guys, the work has been done already. If using Vix, you will have to wait until Apollo is released .

Absolutely. But as long as the main channels, BBC1,2,3 & 4 are FTA my E2 box will be used. But if they would disappear, my complete TV/STB set will be leaving my home.

Just to add to this thread....

In my setup, I set generate Main Bouquet to "Custom Yes" in order to get 5ly numbering consistent in the sections bouquets - works well for this purpose, BUT with this set-up you lose the "SWAP HD" channels - I think because the original idea was for the "swap" to happen in the main bouquet (no longer in play with custom)?

Anyway IMHO, if you are using the above design feature for 5ly numbering consistency in the sections bouquets, I think there is good reason to think that you still would want to have "Yes / No" to Swap HD channels - especially for the "Entertainment" section.

What would need to be done to make that possible I wonder, new drivers from vu? Would it be a software or hardware issue preventing it? Any ideas?

So basically to get the free upgraded HD box you have to take a 12 month multiroom sub out, what a load of bull..... As if people are going to fawk out that if they do there stupid just adding more revenue to a already massive greedy company!!!

I for one will cancelling my sub once all the channels go... Just hope they last another 5 month or so until my contract runs out lol.

Dam sky and there bloody contracts!!!

no, to replace your main HD box with a new free HD box, you need to sign up for a 12 months contract, to replace your old white multi room box ( when the SD switch over start) with a new multi-room box, you need to sign up for a new 12 month multi-room subscription. that what i was told.

As above
Any chance this can be implemented as this would be most welcome

Select HD region, Choose HD swap, run abm... then download your sat_sky_england.xml (or whatever country your in) /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/providers/
Scroll down to where you find the swap channel section, copy and paste these lines in the swap channel section:

<channel number="217" with="106"/>
<channel number="235" with="107"/>
<channel number="231" with="108"/>
<channel number="222" with="129"/>
<channel number="223" with="130"/>
<channel number="301" with="314"/>
<channel number="303" with="330"/>
<channel number="304" with="331"/>
<channel number="305" with="332"/>
<channel number="306" with="333"/>
<channel number="307" with="334"/>
<channel number="308" with="335"/>
<channel number="309" with="336"/>
<channel number="310" with="337"/>
<channel number="311" with="339"/>
<channel number="312" with="340"/>
<channel number="404" with="435"/>
<channel number="526" with="543"/>
<channel number="528" with="544"/>
<channel number="529" with="545"/>
<channel number="553" with="555"/>


Save file as all files so it keeps the .xml extension, re-upload file to previous directory...
Then run abm and refresh bouquets.

i believe you have a small error in yours ,i think its to do with arts, so i went ahead with this and it works perfect.(Edit - i think yours was correct at the time you made it but channel numbers have shuffled over night)
