Enigma 2 query

    Hi

    Really hope somebody can help.

    I have the Alien 2+ box and I noticed I could not get the full EPG for Terrestrial and Freeeview UK on it.

    So I download and installed Enigmna 2 on it, I have got the terrestrial scan, cool tv guide install, cross epg done.


    However I cannot figure out how to get the guide to show Irish channels at top followed by UK freeview channels or how to or edit positions of channels on guide. I am also not sure how set up pause, rewind and record of live tv. I have a !tb drive attached and it is showing up in information.


    If anyone can help please?


    thanks

    Yeah I would also like to know how to setup the channels in the correct order with the Irish Channels first followed by the UK Channels and then make sure that when I press number 1 on the remote it goes to RTE1, Number 2 RTE2 etc.

    I know about Autobouquets but this just seems to make seperate sections for Movies, News, Kids etc.

    I presume you use the Favourites list to get the channels in the order you want but will this be overwritten when the Autobouquets performs its scan every night to make sure the channels all still have the correct frequencies?

    I'm truth, I'd be happy if they were just on epg list with uk channels. But can't figure out how

    Download a free utility called Dreamboxedit on your pc which will let you create / edit bouquets to your hearts content:)
    AFAIK autobouquets wont overwrite favourites but I've never used it so can't be sure.

    With a remote!

    Set up a favourites group.


    Pull up the channel list (normally the up arrow). Press the blue button. Press Menu, Select Add Boquet. Give it a name.

    Adding Channels to that Favourite Group

    Press Exit Key. Now go back to satellite channel list. And when in the list highlight the channel you want to add to the favorites group by pressing menu and add service to bouquet.

    Do the same by selecting the terrestrial channels and doing the same.

    Ordering the channels within that Favourite Group

    When you have all those channels in your favorites list, go to that favourites group, press menu, enable move mode and it will allow you move them to the desired position, by selecting the channel with ok and then using the arrows to move up and press ok again.

    Whilst within your favorites you can select a channel that will always come on first when you turn the box on, by pressing menu and choosing use as startup service/ or from standby

    cheers again

    You need a hard drive attached & enable permanent timeshift for rewind
