Virgin Cable custom mix to correctly place channels into bouquets and delete the rubbish
jenseneverest
Please do not confuse this with @dsayers version that adds sat channels into cable bouquets, this simply reorders and deletes cable channels only.
The idea is to correct what IMHO is the wrong layout of channels into there correct bouquets.
It also deletes the crap non working / not required / useless channels, from various bouquets.
But for the most part moves channels i believe should not be in entertainment, and shopping into the factual bouquet.
ABM uses the official system and numbering order, it dose a great job but makes no sense to me at all, hence this edit.
I personally do not use channel numbers, if you do and are used to them, you will notice they will be reordered if you use this.
In order to get this new layout we have to edit 2 xml files which i have attached,.... also attached is a simple IPK for easy install if you prefer that.
If you are going to use the ipk, then it assumes you already have installed AutoBouquetsMaker, this is just an edit of the files within the plugin.....
The edits are simple, both xml files are included within the plugin already.
Unfortunatly i have had to give the provider xml more range for the factual bouquet.....this will be overwritten with image updates / config file updates....
the file lives here:
usr - lib -enigma2 - plugins - systemplugins - autobouquetsmaker - providers - cable_uk_virgin.xml
My only edit to the provider file is to change the Factual section line below from "245" to "230"
<sections>
<section number="100">Entertainment</section>
<section number="230">Factual</section>
<section number="278">Lifestyle</section>

</custommix>The files are simple.......... they are an included feature of a great plugin......... i am only sharing my edit of them.
Either overwrite both xml files (or edit them) or install with the ipk attached.
Reboot box and download channel list as normal.
Enjoy
