TNAP 6 for Edision: Yes or No?

[Arion]

Haven't played around much with TNAP but giving it a shot. So there is a dedicated Satellite position specifically for the music choice channels on 101W and then the standard position for 101W. When doing a scan on the music choice transponder it just scans in the channels that have the SID's associated with them. What is the trick to get it to populate all the music channels on it's own?

You have to add and configure a separate virtual satellite at 100.9W for the Mood Music channels. Once you do, the Mood Music channels appear. No scanning necessary.

 

[Arion]

How do you do that? That location is already provided in the satellites.xml file and already is a separate location from the standard 101W. I'm at work now but I think it is 100.9W or whatever so the virtual satellite exists and when scanned only the standard tv/radio channels with the SID's appear. I must be missing something here.

 

[cyberham]

It's already entered as a satellite, but have you configured it (i.e. assigned an LNB to the 100.9W satellite position)? This enables the 100.9W position to become active.

 

[Arion]

Certainly have as I indicated in first post you have the 'normal' 101W position and then the Mood Music 100.9 position. Both positions have the Universal LNB selected and both positions scan exactly the same. The 100.9 position just scans the TV and Radio channels that have a SID assigned just like on the 101 location.

The one thing I didn't do (still at work) is to hit the radio button on the remote to see if they are just scanned in as radio channels only instead of a normal scan where both radio and tv channels are presented together in the scan results. I'll give that a look later. Would be kind of odd but maybe that is the way they did it.

You shouldn't scan it, the radio channels have already been entered with their names -- the channels won't even show up in a scan, this receiver isn't doing anything magic compared to any other receiver. Try enabling the satellite and then changing your channel list to radio channels. The channel list you see after a scan and the permanently-stored channel list are NOT the same thing. Weird I know, it's just the way Enigma2 works. But again, the receiver does NOT detect the channels on a scan, they've been manually entered.

You have to look in Radio channels. Makes sense since these are audio-only channels.

You can easily copy an entire scanned-in-satellite with all channels over to User bouquets in one action. It's so easy and quick that this is how I create new User bouquets. I copy the entire satellite's list of channels and just delete the channels I don't want in the bouquet.

How can you do this? What plugin does this, and how?

SDA_FL_USA Steve, do you know? Thanks! I just loaded TNAP 6 into a slot on my second receiver, loaded fresh, didn't restore anything from older images, so have to configure everything.

 

[cyberham]

In your channel selection screen, highlight the satellite of choice, press Menu then select Copy to Bouquets. The satellite and its channels will be copied to your User Bouquets (bottom of list).

Be aware that I've had some trouble when using this. Somehow it seems to eventually sometimes get deleted and a marker of 'N/A' is left in its place. I don't understand why. Maybe it's some corruption in my specific database.

Try it and see how it works for you.
