I have been using the CF for sometime and don’t know what I would do without it now. It’s so useful to the many options I choose to do. However one annoyance that I have found is this…When I edit the channel list and save it, everything is as I want it. Then overnight it gets updated and changes everything back. I don’t always leave my HDR on overnight so it only happens on the occasion that I do, and I am wondering if there is a flag I haven’t set.
:
Hi – sounds odd and this should be seamless with the overnight housekeeping boot at 3am. The new channel editor (v0.5 upwards) stores a copy of changes to default channels, and applies these every day after the housekeeping boot.
Are you using the latest version of the channel editor plug-in (v0.53)?
BTW if you make any changes to the channel list using the Humax interface (like new manual tune) then you have to click “Import Data from Foxsat” before making changes. See here from the documentation:
“If you have made changes to your channel configuration using the Foxsat HDR User Interface since the last housekeeping cycle and have not rebooted the device since making those changes you must first use the “Import Data from Foxsat” button to take a copy of the current running channel configuration in order that your changes can be applied on top of any changes you have made via the Foxsat user interface. Failure to do so will result in the changes made via the Foxsat User Interface being lost.”
Thanks Partridge2, I’ll check those things…
The channel-editor reports to be 0.53-1 so I assume that is the very latest. I just did an update to wedif, perhaps that might help,
I rather think there is a mismatch somewhere and the channel editor database does not contain all the changes you want.
I don’t understand how this can happen (except with perhaps restoring the update file, while of course the database is unchanged).
I suggest you start again, First a freesat tune on the Foxsat, then “Clear all updates” on the channel editor, followed by “import data from Foxsat”. I rather think the middle step is unnecessary but I wanted to make sure.
Now follow Partridge2’s advice above and I rather think all will be fine.
Lastly can I ask if you could have restored the FOXSAT-HDR_channels_update.fcl file at any time?
OK, I will try this. As to the .fcl file….sometime ago I had a problem not getting the EPG. And someone went through a series of exercises with me, which didn’t work and he then suggested some rather drastic measure, which did work, and so it’s just possible that file was restored during that exercise. Since then it has all worked fine with the exception I mentioned.
I have now done as REPASSAC has suggested, and re-edited my channels from the web interface, and I will leave the unit on tonight and see what happens.

Hope you have put the unit in standby for the night before 03:00.
I have…
I can report back that it didn’t work 😥 I have all or at least it looks all the channels I had hidden.
The penny has just dropped here – did you install nowster’s settop path and have you updated it? If you have the old version the time will have been set incorrectly and the S10sysclock script will never set the HouseKeeper FirstBoot and other flags which would trigger the reapplication of changes.
I rather not post a link to the nowseter update here (look in AV forums for posts by Nowseter since the time change)
I did indeed install that package, and when the time patch was upgraded I didn’t install the old version, I just installed the new one over top. Perhaps I should uninstall and start again…???
I have removed the settop-patch and reset the channels.
I will leave it like that overnight and see what happens. If all is ok, I will re-install the patch tomorrow, and then test again.
Please can you post the results from a telnet session in the morning with the commands:
cd /opt/etc
ls -a
I have attached a screen shot of the telnet session..and the channels are back ! So that didn’t work.
Here is what it says when I look at settings. Something not right..
You are using :-
– Custom Firmware : v 4.1.1
– Web Interface : v 2.74
Last housekeeping boot : Sat Mar 30 03:00:22 GMT 2013
[attachment=18061,215]
also if I look into the HDR folders Media/opt/channels there are two fcl files there one dated yesterday called backup and one dated 2000 called update..Any help ?
