Channel updates

Perhaps I'm being thick, but is there any way to tell what channels are added or removed whenever I switch my Humax FreeSat on and it does an update? I get a report about what's happened, and how many channels I've lost or received, but I never see which ones.

Not that they're likely to be channels I'm going to watch anyway, but it would be nice to know.

yes but only if you use the 'Freesat Changelog' thread in the freesat forum the one at the top of the list. You are correct it would be a nice feature if the box itself would inform the user on whats been updated rather than something has.

Indeed!

They way the screen is designed I always assumed the humax was suppose to tell which channels were added/deleted, but simply a bug why it doesn't at the moment.

It's another of those 'features' that makes the box seem unfinished.

It's something you can easily live with but would be nice to see corrected in an update.

It would also be nice if we did not have to re-enter ITV HD schedules every time that FreeSat play with epg which seems to be every week lately.:yawn:

The only thing I ever watched in ITV HD was Law & Order:UK. I always wondered why it only got two episodes.

Pugwash69 - I know we are going off topic on this subject but "Law & Order: UK" was a 13 part series of which 7 episodes were shown earlier this year - they still have to show the other 6 (sometime this autumn I expect) although I read somewhere that the whole 13 episodes have already been shown in Canada. When ITV announced its drama cutbacks it was rumoured that no further episodes would be made but ITV has recently commissioned another 13 part series which will start filming soon - see http://www.kudosproductions.co.uk/news?id=181

Yet another HDR FreeSat update today, 0 channels changed, 0 channels added, 1 channel removed. This really getting annoying now, I have had to reschedule this week’s ITV HD programmes twice in as many days.

I guess there isn't a way to stop an auto channel update? I mean like if it could be set to a manual update as you can with the software update.

This may be obvious but I'll say it anyway, if you don't take the channel update the EPG should still work - you may not have noticed but currently if you decline the channel update (as wife and kids are apt to do) the EPG does not populate (at which point they complain the TV isn't working again).
