Default Channels Not Named

Hi guys,

Hope someone can be of help.

Just had a new image loaded onto my box, i have done the scan and it finds all channels, however they are not named, and in one big long list, i am hoping its just a setting that is out when doing the scan, otherwise i will need to manually rename 300 channels.

Hope someone can be of some help..

Thanks

Should have backed up services and bouquets before flash then re-added them. you'll need to manually redo them or see if someone could give you copy for your area

thanks for your replt mate...

When i got my box back from the guy who put the image on it, the channels were all named, but it kept saying "channel not available" so i did the scan and then all names were lost.

Will i need to re name them all manually now??

No mate you may be able to find the files from someone in your area and this will save you alot of time your looking for the

services.mxl and the bouquets.xml once you have them you need to ftp them files to the dbox place the files in var/tuxbox/config/zapit

Obv make sure your dbox has that ip address etc setup already mate. Then once you have that done when you do the scan make sure you change the bouquet part to LEAVE CURRENT.

Hope this helps

Yes mate, thats exactly what i am seeing.

A list of about 300, similar to your example, in one big long list, so as you can imagine its very hard to find what you are looking for.

Any help on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
