Is there any option to Set Default EPG TV channel in PVR section ???

[i0zjh02]

Is there any option to set a default TV channel? I'd like when I go into my epg to be at channel 101 (In UK this is the start of the main Freeview HD channels) rather that at channel 1 which are the SD versions. I know I can renumber channels and make the HD ones first, but as channel lineups change frequently I want as easy a solution as possible so I can just do a rescan and be able to use the rescanned channel list with minimal manual manipulation. Would be great if this was possible, Appreciate any suggestions

That would be a Kodi question. If you are using DVB-S I am working on bouquet support and the SD channels don't even get loaded (by default) do you need them?

Hi Martin,
Thanks for quick reply, I'm actually using mainly DVB-T2 tuners (backend server has 2 x quad DVB-T2 tuners plus 1 x dual DVB-S2 tuner). I only use the DVB-S to get the HD versions of ITV2,3 and 4 as these are no longer available on DVB-T in UK
I did raise the query initially a while ago on Kodi forum but didnt get any joy and wasnt sure if this could be implemented in the PVR plugin 

Cheers Dave

If it is only a few channels why not just renumber the 101 etc to 1 etc in NextPVR Settings->Channels.

I personally change the channel numbers to order the channels BBC 1,2,3,4 ITV1,2,3,4 CH4 Ch5 then collect the other channels into groups so for example all the Great *** ones are together.

I also merge the Freesat & Freeview channels for the same stations into one channel number.

Once setup, this gives me a very ordered TV Guide starting with BBC1 (See below)

Rescanning for changes doesn't usually cause a lot of manual work and there is some work being done to make updates easier in an upcoming release.
