Hmmm.... You had me going for a while as there are local Forster translators but I did eventually find that the lineup you receive comes from the stronger main transmitters at Manning River

So I've created a new headend called "Mid North Coast" and I have emailed it to Warren. The raw format looks like this, but you don't upload it to your TiVo however... it goes into the emulator instead:

provider: 02428 Mid North Coast NSW Analog FTA
version: 1
lineuptype: Antenna
channel: 0 NoNag
#
# MANNING RIVER - Broadcast tower Middle Brother
channel: 6 ABC-NSW
channel: 8 PrimeN
channel: 59 SBS-NSW
channel: 62 NBN
channel: 65 Ten-NSW
#
# FORSTER - local translators, water tower Likely Street Forster
channel: 41 SBS-NSW
channel: 47 ABC-NSW
channel: 50 NBN
channel: 53 PrimeN
channel: 56 Ten-NSW


Give it a few days as he can also get busy with work and then redo Guided Setup. The lineup will appear in the list. Pick it and problem solved (hopefully!)

Cheers

Anyone know if this new headend has been setup? I tried re-running the guided setup but the new headend didn't appear in the list.

It doesn't appear so as it is not on the OzTiVo server:

http://minnie.tuhs.org/TiVo/files/headend_config/NSW/

I had issues with emails when I was working away remotely last week and it looks like several (including the one to Warren) did not get through.

I'll re-send the request.

D.

The approach suggested by T1voZA sounds like a good one to me (post #9) as I would prefer more user friendly numbering of channels.
I presume that this would not require the the change channel number method.
Could this could be an additional headend to the existing ones?

The problem with making custom headends is that it would confuse newcomers as to which one to pick when they are confronted with a longer than necessary list. Things can be customised at your end via software, if required.

Warren emailed me confirming it has been added, and the file is indeed on the server. See how you go and if anything needs fixing let me know.

Cheers

Many thanks Darren and Warren

The channel selections are now correct however, I don't get any guide data for NBN and PrimeN

Actually you were a little quick for what I expected :)

Warren also said it will take 24 hours (48 tops) for the guide data to kick in. Give it time as it will appear (you won't have to re-do Guided Setup). Main thing this that your frequencies are there which is 99% of the battle ;)

On my reading of the change channel number method the problem with customising the channels at the tivo end is that when the next loadguide occurs the channels all reset and then have be changed back again before any problems occur.

This seems to be a very convoluted patch upon patch method of allowing a convienent channel line up when by using the T1voZA method should be a do it 'once and forget it' method.
