[Bbigfoot]

Hi tinto de verano,

Not shure if you have a Diablo or Dragon Cam, but if you have here is
another 106 channels, 90% English, 8 Film channels.
Digitv...Intelsat 10-02..@..1w (Not Thor @ 0.8w).
Another thing is as you say some of Larales53 sats have different names.
To find Digitv in laurals list ( L53 08 May..his LAST..he sold his HD2000).
GOTO INTELSAT 707 (Its not as you think at 53w..Its 1w).
Scan in Digtv Frequenceys...12527..H..27500..3/4.
..12563..V..27500..3/4...12563..H..27500..3/4...12607..H..27500..3/4.
..12607..V..27500..3/4...12643..H..27500..3/4...12643..V..27500..3/4.
..12687..H..27500..3?4...12687..V ..27500..3/4..12723..H..27500..3/4.
Expect about 40 to 60% Signal Quality on a 80cm Dish.

@satpaul, You could take over Laurals53 List now that he"s Finished with it.
he layed it out for the Diablo and Dragon Cams.

Hi Bbigfoot.
1) I have both a Diablo light and a TRex.
2) DigiTV. Yeah. I had already added those. Thanks.
3) Sats with different names. Very confusing... I'm starting a new thread soon (2 actually: HDCI2000: back to FW 07 and HDCI2000: BBCi)
Thank you very much for your reply and the info on DigiTV.

Hi tinto de verano,

Thanks.
I will scan in BBCi today, then paste into laurals53 may list.
Can I just paste them any place in the list.

tdu, Have you linked up your HD2000 with a component lead,
I had to, picture to dark on LCD through HDMI socket.
Use the Component to view SD and HD @ 576p.
It does a good job of Upscaling the SD picture Quality.
Better Quality picture then though the scart socket.
Brighter HD picture then the HDMI socket but @ 576p.

Hi Bbigfoot.
1) I think you do not need to scan BBCi (they are in my minilist).
Just back up your channell list, if you have modified laural's original one (or use laural's if you have not modifid it). Open it in Formula and copy and paste the BBCi channels from my mini list.
I'm learning as I go, it looks as if when you paste channels in Formula they always get pasted at the top of the list. And you cannot change the numbers/order.
Once you have downloaded the list to the HDCI200, you can move all the BBCi channels wherever you want with the Edit Channels option.
2) Er... I'm afraid I still haven't bought an HD TV. I bought the HDCI2000 to be futureproofed hoping I'd soon get an HD display... That waas a year ago. Maybe Santa will give me a nice surprise soon.

hi guys is there any chance 1 of ya can upload your latest file with prem 3 and bbci just for us numptys that dont no how to work formula cheers

[tinto de verano]

Hi sparky208.
Can I offer you some help with Formula?
Bear in mind I'm no expert either and I'm just trying to learn (by trial and error...).
I'm assuming you have Formula and a null modem cable.
You can easily back up your current channel list to Formula (it takes some time).
Save that file as a backup.
Save it again with a different name to experiment...
Copy and paste the BBCi channels from the list (Humax2000_TDV_04_BBCi ONLY_27Oct07.fdf) I posted yesterday.
Save it.
Download to STB.
Done.

hi tinto de verano yes m8 i have it all. i did used to do it but that was about a year ago ive just forgot how to but ill give it a go now i used to use bigmans list i dont see him around much now anyway do i allso have to put in prem3 or is it allredy in there+ ive looked every place to find out how to get the info button to work on all the prems is it something to do with the pids do ya think

[tinto de verano]

Hi sparky208.
Do a backup of your list first, just in case.
Add the BBCi channels...
No, I'm afraid that Premiere Sports 3 is not in my mini BBCi list.
I'm tryng to back up my list at the moment.
I'll try to create and upload a Premiere only channels list. Hopefully, you'll be able to copy and paste Premiere Sports 3 (and any other Premiere channel you might need from that.
It's a slow process, but satisfying, I hope.

cheers m8 thats good ill keep playing thanks sparky208

[Bbigfoot]

Hi tinto de verano,

Will follow your instuctions and paste in BBCi, Thanks.

@sparky208...Try this to load Prem Sport 3.
Open formula, load in your channel list pick a channel close to the Prem channels,
(In my L53 list 24 25 26 are old, No channels) Highlite the channel (Left click the line)
You will now see the pids highlited at the top of Formula.
4 on the top line, 3 on the bottom line and the name of the channel.
These are Prem Sports 3, Pids,
Top line left to right.....223..102..767..768.
Bottom line left to right......767..8192..32. Then far right type in (Premiere Sport 3)
Then click Save...you dun.
Upload you channel list to STB, you now have Prem Sport 3.
I stuck ORF 1 & 2 in the other 2 empty Channels.

This really is a bad limitation for this receiver, not been able to tune into Premiere's portal channels is really a big disadvantage of this receiver, and looks like no firmware updates available either :(

[tinto de verano]

Hello again.
Sorry. Been busy.
1) sparky208, Bbigfoot, did the addition of the BBCi channels go OK? I hope so.
2) sparky208, did you manage to add Premiere Sports 3 with Bbigfoot instructions? I hope so.
3) Bbigfoot, thanks for those instructions.
4) harshy, I agree. You might have read my other post regarding my problems upgrading to unofficial firmware .11 and then .13... only to go back to .07. I should have listened to denis1501. Yes, the Humax support for this receiver has been really disappointing. And once laurals stopped producing channel lists updates... well, nobody has added much (thanks denis1501 for the list you uploaded recently with updated Astra 1, Astra 2 and Hotbird).
5) I tried to merge my current list with denis1501 list but, so far, have failed miserably. I'll keep trying...
Thank you all.

Hi Bbigfoot and all.
Just noticed we do not need to use an old channel to edit it with new data...
We can (go to the bottom of a list) right click and click on Add. It'll create a new line where we can add the data we want.
You probably all knew this already, but just in case.
As mentioned earlier, I'm just trying to learn how to use Formula.
Thanks again.

Hi tinto de verano & All,

Yes, loaded BBci additions OK, but how many do I add out of the 200 + channels.
Is it just the 7 as in your readme.
Everything pasted Ok except the transponder (12207-27500),
and the provider (BNT). Right click Transponder & Provider and loaded
(12440=27500...BS*yB) OK now.
TDV, That was a Good find (Add).

BF...

[tinto de verano]

Hi Bbigfoot.
1) 200+ channels?
As far as I know, Humax2000_TDV_04_BBCi ONLY_27Oct07.fdf should only contain the 7 BBCi channels, the 7 as in my readme, not 200+.
2) Yes, I'm afraid I also noticed yesterday that when copying and pasting (sometimes? always? not sure), Transponder and Provider remain blank. Strange.
Luckily you also discovered that by right clicking you can select transponder and provider... Not too difficult if dealing with only 7 channels. But I wonder how to solve it if pasting 2000 channels!!
3) Glad you managed to sort it out in the end.
4) Thanks for considering the Add feature a good find. There's still so much to find out and so little time.
5) Yesterday I tried to copy and paste (newer) channels from denis1501 list into mine hoping no duplicates would be pasted, but everything got pasted/added so I soon went over the 4000 channel limit. And as you mention, with no Transponder nor Provider info!!! This tool is "amazing".
6) Hope we can all do some more experiments and find some good things. We cannot rely on Humax to do it for us I'm afraid.
Good luck to us all.

Hello again Bbigfoot.
I think I found out how to avoid empty Transponder and Provider fields when copying and pasting fields from one list to another.
For the purpose of this exercise, let's say we want to copy and paste the 7 BBCi channels from my Humax2000_TDV_04_BBCi ONLY_27Oct07.fdf into a new empty channels list.
As we found out, when pasting, the Transponder and Provider fields remain empty/blank. Very annoying.
Here is how to avoid it:
1) Open Humax2000_TDV_04_BBCi ONLY_27Oct07.fdf.
2) Open a new empty file (and save it with, lets say, My Brand New List.fdf).
3) Wait, do not copy and paste the 7 BBCi channels yet.
4) In Humax2000_TDV_04_BBCi ONLY_27Oct07.fdf, click on the Provider Info tab. Select all and copy.
5) In My Brand New List.fdf, click on the Provider Info tab and paste.
6) In Humax2000_TDV_04_BBCi ONLY_27Oct07.fdf, click on the TS Info tab. Select all and copy.
7) In My Brand New List.fdf, click on the TS Info tab and paste.
8) In Humax2000_TDV_04_BBCi ONLY_27Oct07.fdf, click on the Channel Info tab. Select all and copy.
9) In My Brand New List.fdf, click on the Channel Info tab and paste. Everything gets pasted now! Including Transponder and Provider!
I am assuming that when you tried to copy and paste from Humax2000_TDV_04_BBCi ONLY_27Oct07.fdf into your existing channel list (not empty), the BBCi Transponder Info or Provider Info (or maybe both) was missing (in your existing list) and that is why those fields remained empty, maybe. Nothing seems very straightforward with Formula.
Good luck.

Hi tinto de verano,

My Brand New List worked for me, it also pasted Transponder & Provider.
But when I Pasted into New List I gained 2 more Channels, it
went from 244 channels to 246.

[tinto de verano]

Hi Bbigfoot.
Glad it al worked out well.
Been very busy.
Haven't had any time to practise with Formula nor to update my list... one of these days.

i just cant get it to work i give up me brain hurts but thanks to denis1501 tinto de verano and Bbigfoot is there anychance of 1 of you guys uploading your file with bbci and all the prems iam not wanting spoon fed guys i just cant get it

[tinto de verano]

Hi sparky208.
Sorry to hear it is not working for you.
What exactly is your problem then?
As mentioned earlier I do not want to pass on my list (basically laurals may07, many channels deleted to free up space, some added, but a lot of adding and sorting still to be done...) because you might find it turns out to be worse than your list!
Here's an idea:
Is your list up to date, except for the BBCi channels and Premiere Sports 3?
You could upload it to the Public section and I'm sure some of us could try adding BBCi and Premiere Sports 3 to your list... and of course we might also benefit from it...
Does it make sense?
Let us know what you think.
Don't give up.
