Sorry for the delay laptop not behaving again.

Hope that is what you seek Cheers.

You have dead channels in your lamedb file. There is only one working version of itv3 hd on 28.2. Please delete 28.2 channels then scan again or just run ABM.

To delete channels:
Up next to OK
Green (satellites/extended)
Highlight 28.2
Menu
Remove selected satellite and confirm it,
Exit

Abm supposed to run every morning.

Just ran ABM after deleting bouquets .
Thank you @Abu Baniaz

Also rescanned 28.2 to update names as many are new to me 781 channels found Cheers

 

[Abu Baniaz]

I did not say anything about deleting bouquets. It won't solve your issue. ABM does not delete dead channels. Enigma2 scanning with "clear before scanning" is also flawed in that only the transponders listed in satellites.xml are interrogated. If a dead channel is on transponder that is not listed, it won't be removed.

Please follow instructions above. If they are not clear, please say which bit is unclear.

As an aside, you should enable the "include not indexed" option.

Will i still be able to find those dead channels as rescanned 28.2 and ABM.

As an aside, you should enable the "include not indexed" option. , NOT sure what or where to look and my all list now only has 1 ITV 3 HD as previous it had a dead one.

 

[Abu Baniaz]

If you remove all your 28.2 channels using the instructions above, you will have no 28.2 channels at all. If you then scan, you will only have the working channels.

Regarding the not indexed channels, it is the 12th option (from top) in your screenshot.

Losing the plot here as no recording showing.

NOTE TO SELF program a timer for it to work 😂

Back to same issue on my Et 10000 and trying the same advice as above.
I did not do indexed on that box at that time but i have now.


Rechecking on my 8000 again and see this.
NORTH SHORE 00mins and failed recording.
Rechecked again and was saved the last time.

Plenty of movement for ITV on KOS i see days ago and ABM runs nightly.

When i setup a recording i do on that channel and see 7 days.
Doing a rescan on 28.2 as noticed my pip screen was not changing as possibly no info on that one.
718 channels found.

 

[Abu Baniaz]

Timers are set according to service references. Service references include a bit that refers to the transponder.

ABM adds channels, it doesn't delete dead channels.

Focus on deleting the dead channels first. It's only a few button pushes. Don't scan until you have done that.

 

[cactikid]

Deleting from the ALL list via remote i did yesterday before i rescanned.

 

[Abu Baniaz]

You should have used the satellite list instead of all

 

[cactikid]

Was that not the All list to see all those ITV channels with no info that i deleted.
All ITV seem to be populated on my 8000

 

[Abu Baniaz]

And how do you know which is active and which is not? Are you selecting each and every channel and checking it or just looking if it has EPG data? Even after the channel stops working, the EPG entry will be valid until it expires. If you get EPG from stream, it is about 7 days. If someone is using EPG importer, that service reference will continue getting EPG until someone tells Doglover to remove it.

You would have been better off going into satellite list, it's green button instead of red that you pressed. Then remove all of 28.2. That was the advice given.
