[CrossEPG-Config] Auto Timers and Channel 4 HD

[abu baniaz]

Er, sorry, I meant where on earth does the number 126 come from?
But now I realise that it's probably just the first unused number in the Freesat numbering scheme.

Freesat removed Channel 4 HD in 2018 because they didn't want to pay the money. Those were the two numbers that they had used so we used the vacated one again. I am afraid we did not have bright sparks around to suggest number we use for hacks, sorry if the decision making falls short of any expectations out there.

Channel 4 HD which has not been on Freesat since 22 February 2018. You don't need to use ABM, you can make your own bouquets and use your own numbering system.

"It's the number channel 4 HD used to be on Freesat" would have sufficed.

I did offer to have a go at a glossary. But was shot down in flames as there were different systems!! But a glossary is just explaining all the terms. Which I thought would be a help for newcomers. I've certainly learnt much in the last few weeks.

As far as I can tell:

1. 126 was the old CH4HD Freesat number, with Four7 on 127.
2. The customMix.xml file tells ABM to use 126 for CH4HD. https://www.world-of-satellite.com/...Hacks-Examples&p=472107&viewfull=1#post472107.

Now the obvious question, to me, is why is the customMix.xml required for Ch4HD/126 but not Four7 which just appeared on 127 after scanning the transponder?? Perhaps the code is already dormant in the ABM??

I've got to where I want to be without all the answers!!

.... Four7 is SD not HD.

Yes, I knew that but as on same transponder thought it appeared with Ch4HD. Apologies for my error.
