Hi DJBlu i've just upgraded to the new version 32 and noticed that a really old bug has returned namely a bug that was fixed in the 23 version. This new version is not removing old channels when the service ID changes. Just looking at my channel list and there are a few duplicates in there. Anyway many thanks for the new plugin. cheers

    One thing I've found with the logo grabber is that it doesn't seem to handle duplicate channels to well. After a scan I had 3 versions of the various Channel 4 channels, so I deleted the unwanted ones, but now the remaining channels do not have a logo.

    Just another one to add. If in the Card/Mappings Tab i select Simple A as the diseqc method all channels added are getting the setting diseqc Simple B. If none is selected in Card/Mappings Then all New Channel get Simple A settings. Cheers

    Just check the settings for a random channel and look at is diseqc setting if its B try Changeing it to A or none and then try viewing that channel

    Fixed diseqc. Looking into old channels. Can you explain what you mean with the channels. A channel will only be removed if sky remove it from their EPG. If the SID changes then the channel will be updated. Which channels are duplicated?

    I'll just see how i can replicate it and get back to you asap

    Ok just confirming Diseqc working fine here now. However all new channel have PMT PID set at 0. (no causing a problem as i can still view channels ok).

    Duplicate channel problem:
    If i say change the SID for BBC THREE from 10351(correct) to 103 (incorrect) the plugin adds a new BBC THREE entry with the right SID but leaves the old one in place. On the version i was using (27) it would remove the channels with an incorrect SID however after the last few releases its now not doing it.

    Cheers
