Try OpenATV/Vix image and use ABM. Otherwise use the settings in the Autobouquets thread.

Additionally, the EPG will populate as you watch.

ok just an update brruteforce scanned around 514 channels, some fTA others working via a different route....so i cant have sly and cable at the same time, as the ultimo has two other sat tuners which im using ?..i was hoping i could just simply switch between one and the other but doesnt seem possible, also though if i leave sly running on cccam and cable in mgcamd 1.38 it would work, which it sort of does but boquets on sly get all messed up along with cable...
 
You should be able to use both types of tuners and swap between the services they provide.

well i was hoping i could do that by simply pressing a button but , how would you do that..would be nice..
 
I presume that you are usin the blackhole image, so apologies if these are not correct.

You should be able to enable the service type icons in your chanenl list view. You will then be able to see which is sat and which is cable.

Go into all services and you will see all your services. with the icons and swap between them.

yes abu BH 2.1.0 latest one, ok got sat and cable running together, ive added the "unknown" folder, which is cable in the providers list to the sat boquets ie rats dw chnnel updater, added the cable line to the newcamd.list so both are running now, i can just simply go to the boquets and choose sat or cable, only thing is the cable channels are all in the "unknown" folder, some boquets in there would be nice, just like the sat boquets...any ideas ta..
 
I am afraid you cant use the Autobouquets if you are also using the satellite tuners as well. Because the ABM overwrites all existing channels in the Bouquet folder including satellite and will leave you with just a Cable Favourites list

I had to manually do my own via DBedit pain in the backside but worth doing

You are using the latest one by Lraizer? (01 June 2014)

I have been relaibly informed the ABM one does all 3 modes without issue.

To be honest Abu not tried the latest version but i also use mine for Motorised use as well
 
1. To install dvbsnoop
Telnet following command
Code:
You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.

If you prefer to use the ipk, there is one in the 28.2 version.

2. To install the plugin, it is a plugin and not bouquets. it will create bouquets for you.
extract the file and transfer to receiver, path should be self explanantory. The py and .sh need to be chmod 755 (I just do the whole folder and contents). Restart receiver and it will show in plugins.
 
Latest Blackhole and previous versions already have dvbsnoop installed
 
ok think ive got it , i ran that boquet maker, it made the boquets, sports, movies etc....on top of the sat boquets that i already have thanks to rats dw updater....ive got all the cable channels in their appropriate boquet, but they are not clearing for some reason....they were all clearing before when i had just the "unknown" folder, which had every channel in there..?
