Is it possible to remove channels from the channel list?  (Using DM7020 HD) 

 

Cannot see any option to do this. 

 

Thanks

yes it possible check the channel list then click the menu button, yoi find remove channel option

[littlesat]

Or select a channel and press 5... (4 is rename, 6 is move)

But, I dont have the remove option.  Is this because I have installed the vhannibal channel list?

In channel list, stand on the channel you want to remove ( don't click on it) than press menu.

I already tried that, but there is no option to delete.  I believe installing channel list from vhannibal, somehow means that the remove channel option is no longer there.

What image are you using EXACTLY?

You are aware that you can only delete channels from one of the bouquets, and not from the main list, are you?

vhannibal channel list?

When this hacks around the usual standard channelslist you'll indeed not see the standard features...

No, I was not aware of that.  So,  channels stay in the main list forever?  Can I not move them?  How about removing channels from an individual satellite channel list? Can I do that?

No those are all just views on the main list. That is exactly why you should work with a favirites list (bouquet). You only put the channels you want in them, and you have full control on what is in there. You cloud remove channels from the main list on your PC with a settings editor, but such channels will simply reappear when they are detected by the background scan.

Thanks Bag58.  But I did try using Dreamboxedit and Dreamset to remove the channels, but I could not get rid of them, Dreamset I found quite complicated.

 

The channels shouldnt re appear as they are feed channels, and when you have old feed channels in the list it gets messy, especially when all have the same name but on different frequencies,

 

Can you please explain how I should go about deleting them on the PC?

 

Many thanks

I can tell you for Dreamset.

1. Transfer the seetingslist from your receiver to Dreamset: transfer, read
2. The list appears. The left-most list shows the TV-all channel list
3. Select a number of channels to delete
4. Now you can delete the selected channels with Ctrl+Del
5. After you have cleaned up the list, transfer it back to your receiver: transfer, write

That's all.

Bag58 - I tried using Dreamset. Deleted the channels using Ctrl Del and saved and write back to receiver.

 

Restarted box, and the channels are still there.

 

I do not think it is possible to remove channels from the main list

[Bag58]

Two possible causes:

• When you transfer the settingslist back to your receiver, make sure that Enigma is stopped. This should be done by Dreamset, but only when it is told to do so:
  • In dreamset open the options dialog, and in connection set Telnet Before Write Settings to the value "init 4;sleep 5". Also set Telnet After Write Settings to the value "init 3" Do not put in the quotes!
• Also when Enigma is restarted the background scan will be activated again. This could lead to the channels that you just removed being detected and added to the list again.

IT WORKED !!!

 

Thank you so much Bag58 - I am eternally grateful.  I would never have been able to figure this out.

 

Now I just need to sort out the backup settings, I have created a new thread

 

Thanks again
