Here's an Updated UK channel list for a fixed dish with a matching "channels.uk" config for WeekEPG.

I've gone through and sorted what was broken on WeekEPG "channels.uk" zapping/epg etc and have managed to fix all what i consider the "Main" channels "more then 250" Full 8 day EPG available for all.

didn't bother with > International/Shopping/Religious channels.

Zapping / Timers / Auto Showing whats on now / should all work with this now, "fingers crossed" had someone else zapping channels for me while i marked down if they worked.

I've also updated my "UK Fixed Dish Channel" list to match the epg order/channels. used FTA versions when available.

i suggest transferring channel list with DBedit as other apps don't keep some of the renaming in bouquets.
and to update "channels.uk" delete the existing one from /var/etc/ and replace with new one over ftp, then restart enigma.

I'll be posting updates to Fixed Dish Channel Lists and channels.uk in here from now on so check last posts for updates

p.s
Thanks to WeekEPG dev "MaxZ4" for help/advice in getting this sorted :)

Edit:
Here's the List of all the channels that get full 8 day EPG data using this config, in the order i used.

only channel not on there is "Showcase TV, aka Info TV2" as I can't find right "Channel ID" for it.
1;3225;Showcase;373;c6c1:969:2 < it doesn't get EPG data but zapping works though.

already found a fix needed "Alibi +1" wasn't showing should be fixed in this version.
 
just got a message saying Travel Channel + 1 wasn't zapping here's a working version.
 
good setup i just found for using with WeekEPG is.

-press "yellow" button
-press "menu" button when plugins menu is open
-choose "show coloured buttons first"
-use "move" to change WeekEPG to yellow if it's not.
-reboot box from holding down "standby" button, to save settings.

now you just press "Yellow" button twice to get EPG.

thats brilliant m8, what a top find :)
 
great work tonedeff very much appreciated the epg was ok before with a little bit of fidling around but this makes it spot on.
is there a way to add the regional itv programs bbc regionals are on previous list which info can be swapped but itv regionals are not listed anywhere just wondering where the info could be got then this could be swapped as well for the region of your choice.
as said before great work and very much appreciated
:banana:
 
you can try these ITV regions not tested at all, and i'de guess some don't work for zapping as there's been frequency changes recently,

sorry but i can't be doing with testing and converting more numbers to hex etc for now... if there's a single one in particular you wanted i could have a look.

as afew people have asked here's a version that has all the "Spam" channels added at end "/shopping / Box Office / Adult / International / Religious"

they are all disabled by default but you can enable them in weekepg settings.

nothing after the "--ToneDeff" marker has been tested at all.

i'll keep them in there with future updates but quite unlikely i'll bother fixing/checking them, if anyone would like to try i can add you to an "Online Spreadsheet" and tell you method i used for fixing.
 
i used this channels.uk file on my DM800 running nabilosat BH image, and the epg is now brill on it

ToneDeff, you the man :proud:
 
I've re-added the HD channels that were in the default weekepg list, now at the end of my list. was also missing BBC ALBA / S4C / S4C2.

none of them have been tested just copied from default.

Also Set Men & Motors to not showing by default as i think it's closed.

ToneDeff. I have added some of the missing sports channels because there are quite a few versions of these channels on 28.2e. I have inserted the top section in between your existing channel numbers for the sports channels, and the bottom lot I have given their own section at the bottom of the list. I recommend you at least keep my Sky Sports 1 (SID 107d) because the Sky Sports 1 you currently have in your list with SID '1076' isn't ideal for Dreambox users. It has dual PID's and displays a black screen on Dreambox's. The betting stream shows on PID 0207 but the main channel on PID 0203 gives a black screen. It's the same issue as 'At the Races' on Dreambox's when you have to select the latter PID to get a picture. This issue doesn't affect Technomate's. My Sky Sports 1 above with SID '107d' works on both Technomate's and Dreambox's.

thanks for that i'll change "Sky Sports 1" when i'm at home, only thing is why would you change any of the others or need regional variations, the only difference is adverts isn't it ?

If you look at your list from the 1st April I haven't actually changed any of your channels. Everything above I have added has a separate channel number. The top batch I have used the spare channel numbers adjacent to your existing Sky Sports channels and the bottom batch I have added in their own section at the bottom of the list.
As well as adding the Sky Sports 1 for the reason given above I have added the others for completeness. Plus who's to say another PID won't be added to one of the SS2, 3 and 4's giving Dreambox owners trouble. Another reason is, some images like the one I use automatically re-adds channels you delete so you always have about 4 variations of each of the Sky Sports channels, so I want to be able to select any of those channels and still get a listing.

How about UTV and STV in this list as well?
 
where are you getting the "Channel ID's" from ?

e.g
1;6230;UTV;1371;27f6:806:2

have you got a working one for "Showcase TV" ?
1;****;Showcase;373;c6c1:969:2

sorry i don't have the channelid/EPG for ITVHD, i put this together for the SD Enigma TM600/500's really, and the other HD chan's are just on EPG list as they were on the default one aswell.

if someone knows the right channelid number i'll add it though.
 
Been some Updates/Changes

Zone Horror/+1 has been Rebranded to Horror/+1 \ Entertain Bouquet.

Changed the version of "Sky Sports 1" used by chan list and EPG, to a version that works on Dreambox's aswell.

also added STV/UTV & duplicate Sky Sports EPG's from "silsila" to end of channels.uk
