Folks,
so those of us who use Sky as a source, I've finally got around (aggravated enough) to writing a tool to sync the channel numbers as you will know sky often move the channel line ups around and don't tell anyone.
This tool will match the channels by name and update the channel numbers. I've provided both a GUI and Slient mode options on the EXE in case you wish to run this regularly.
The Installation can be downloaded from here :-
Http://www.systemshark.com/SCSSetup.zip
If enough people are interested I'll add it to the Wiki.
Once Installed, the SkyChannelSync Tool has the following command Line options.
/? - Help Message including activity log file location
/s - slient mode, still writes activity log but no GUI
<nothing> GUI mode- still writes Activity log!
I've started a support thread located here : http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=30827
Questions :
Q) How is this going to work
A) I'm holding a XML channel list on my server which I'll keep in sync with Sky.
Q)What listing source are you using
A)I am using Radio Times via Alan Birtles Reader. I've tested it on that.
