show more/less channels in EPG

[nemulate]

Hi have done a search but to no avail can anyone tell me where to change the xml files to alter the number of channels shown in te onscreen epg?

Thanks

This can effected in two ways:

1. This can be done from config, in the Channels tab. This method is recommended as it has the advantage it gives you more flexibility. You can add or remove channels at will, and the EPG data will have already been downloaded in any case and show them.

2. Modify your Grabber (e.g. in what I use TVXB, you only set it up to d/l those channels you REALLY want to watch). This has the advantage that you don't have to spend so much time downloading chanels you will never watch anyway.

Sorry my fault as didn't make myself clear enough! I mean to show more or less rows in the epg, In particualr I'd like to increase the space at the bottom of the epg so can see more of the program description.

Thanks

In the file ..\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\skin\SKIN NAME\tv guide\skin.xml

look for the line

Code:

<SpecialElement name="Guide" loc="50,80" visibleChannels="7" channelRowHeight="40" guideWidth="540" showNavigation="false" borderWidth="2" rounded="false" showChannelIcons="true"/>

Changing visibleChannels="7" to a smaller number will cause fewer channels to be displayed.

I haven't yet figured out how to make more room for the display of the program description.

These lines determine where the program title and description appear!

Code:

<SpecialElement name="SelectedProgrammeTitle" loc="120,355" size="540,20"/>
<SpecialElement name="SelectedProgrammeDesc" loc="120,373" size="540,105"/>

I've already moived the text up 30 pixels so can see more of the description!

Yes, but there are other lines to change, to move the "box" that the description appears in. In order to simplifiy things, I have attached a skin.xml from the Blue skin that I have modified to have only 6 rows for the channels, and that moves the description "box" and the text upwards.

After first backing up the original file, unzip this into the "tv guide" folder of your skin.
