Summary:
Add the ability to sort or restrict channels by group in mapping dialog?
Area:
TV Server
Description:
According to Wiki guide, TV Mapping page, "... it can be useful at times to do manual mappings. For example, if you have 2 TV cards that are the same (such as DVB-S) the first TV card might find some channels that the second might miss when scanning. This will enable you to map the missed channels found by the first TV card to the TV card that missed them."
That's entirely correct, but what if you tune multiple satellites but not all cards can receive all satellites. In this case the list still presents channels from all satellites as available for mapping. I only want to see the channels that I know ought to be available on that card.
My example - fours cards, all connected via simple A/B diseqc switches. On A of two cards is Hotbird 13. On A of the other two is Astra 19.2. On B of all four is Astra 28.2. I'd like to be able to - for example - see if any channels are missing on 28.2 after re-tuning all cards. Or, for another example, copy the 28.2 re-tuning on one card to all 3 others. But if I try to do any of this without deleting all channels first (and therefore losing my bespoke channel numbering etc.) then I can't see the wood for the trees because all the channels for Hotbird and Astra 19.2 are there too.
A filter button to allow the set-up to show channels only from a chosen group would address this, assuming I do a scan that creates or adds to a 'satellite group'.
