One single channel list - possible?

[imish]

Not sure if this is possible or not.

the box has 3 tuners = 2 Sat & 1 Cable - at the moment I have two channel lists - Cable first and Sat second - so have two BBC HDs as an example, two copies of EPG, etc.....

Would like to have ONE channel list with One EPG - and for the box to prefer Tuner C as the primary and if busy then choose one of the other available sat tuners?

Bouquet:
You can have channels from different modes/position in the same bouquet. Including IPTV.

EPG:
When you open EPG, the display is based on the bouquet from which you selected the active channel.

Thanks for the response.

If i understand this correctly I can have a single SET of bouquets (manual editing) - however there will still be two instances of each channel - one BBC1 for cable and the other for satellite under the same bouquet, correct?

if the above is correct, what I am actually looking for is a single instance of BBC1 and for the box to then chose the appropriate tuner depending on priority (say cable and then sat) - does that make sense?

Not possible as far as I know. The only possibility is alternatives. Never used it. But if the main service is not avilable, it will use the alternative.

Use alternatives. And set priority to cable.

Alternatives is a group of services. There is no main service. It just picks the first usable service from the list.

Sorry for asking a basic question - where do I find "alternatives" ?

Would like to give this a try.

Thanks

I had a go at setting up alternatives and came away with the thought that it's not as easy to do as I could quite work out what it expecting me to do.

So I opened up the bouquet, then pressed menu, then selected alternatives. It them showed me the current channel so I pressed a colour button to locate an alternative and then pressed OK on the channel. It then just took me back to the channel but when I opened up the bouquet and then menu and then show alternatives it just had the channel I was on.
