when it was new I set up my box to show only the channels I was most interested in. However ........ my sister who comes to stay (too often ;-( complains HER favourite channels are unavailable. How do I restore them.
Regards

Try a freesat tune.

Surely there's a more straightforward way than getting them all back then having to re-edit?

So exactly how eould you specify the function? You delete channels now you want an undelete - it would take < 5 mins to get back to where you want.

Okay don't get stroppy! I had no idea they were 'deleted' that's an even crappier system than I thought. I had supposed they were just hidden so you didn't have to wade through all the trash.

Might be easier to restore your sister to her own place?

I was not being stroppy - from a tech point of view deleted channels are just hidden - otherwise the nightly automated freesat scan would re-add them. There is no undelete function however - you are the first to ask. I do understand that changing sisters is not an option.

Thanks, all restored - now to ask her which channels she wants. Think I might get her own box for Christmas!

Install the custom firmware and use a laptop etc to view the epg.
Your sister can view a different epg line up to you on a PC, tablet smartphone etc if your box is networked. You can also hide/unhide channels at will on the box. If she changes her mind no problem

Thanks Graham - is v4.0.7 the latest firmware?
Also are there any risks associated with installing it?
Cheers, Neil
