Oztivo grabber and HD channels

misterp · **14th June 2006, 02:43 PM**

Firstly, know its been said before, but really appreciate all the work and support that goes into this site and the work of the coders/developers that help the likes of me and others get their systems 'sorted" (theres always something to fix) and running how they 'should' (a media centre WITHOUT EPG?? come on M$!!

)

Anyway, I have set up the Oztivo grabber and it all works well. Is it possible to add HD channels by duplicating the listings? Something along the line of the HD1 option in FreeXMLTV?
I was hoping it may be as easy as adding another line into my channel.xml file, something like below (im not at home so cant confirm if this works or not).

<Channel>
<name>ABC Perth</name>
<channelID>ABC-WA</channelID>
<virtualchannel>2</virtualchannel>
</Channel>
<Channel>
<name>ABC HD Perth</name>
<channelID>ABC-WA</channelID>
<virtualchannel>20</virtualchannel>
</Channel>

Im hoping this will generate 2 listing for ABC WA, one called ABC perth and the other called ABC HD perth (essentially the same listing for both from the ABC-WA info from the oztivo site)

Can anyone confirm that this will work or not?

Thanks

Thanks Monster, hoped it would be fairly simple

Any chance we can all get the info on how to do this?

I've added the channels to the ChannelInfo.XML file, however they do not show up when trying to add listings in TV Settings.

Any hints?

i'm also interested in duplicating channels for hd, any info would be appreciated thanks.

I am also interested. I have tried to simply modify the Channels.xml, I then ran bladerunner to update the guide and then updated the guide in MCE. I receive an error in MCE when updating the guide when the xml file is modified. Any ideas would be great.

I'd like to know how to do this too if it is possible!

Mentioned in one of the other posts about guide data (and the trouble with getting it working at the moment) someone mentioned that there is a handy utility implemented in the latest version of BladeRunner Pro to duplicate the data for HD channels.... ahh, found it HDit is the thing that can do the job for you, provided by Monster. I haven't tried it yet but by the sounds of it, it works fine.

Configuring it now. it seems hdit is on by default. took me a little while to figure out the oztivo arguments have a space before every / though!
