Guide on how to manually scan and move channels for BM5000s

[bees]

This is a bit of a guide on how to scan for channels
if they have moved.

First if a channel moves that you don't use regularly I would just wait for the list to
be updated using the blade online channel lists.

If you watch the channel regularly then you can add the new frequency manually instead
of waiting for an update.

This is based around BT Sport HD 1 & 2 and ESPN HD

and Boxnation.

All theses moved in the last few days, the first three are all on the same frequency, boxnation on another.

New frequency for BT Sport HD 1 & 2 plus ESPN HD: 11603 V 29500
New frequency for Boxnation: 11680 V 27500

You can look these up on the king of sat website.

If a channel has moved you will get this screen



On your remote Menu - Installation - Manual Scan



Type in the new frequency, green button (scan)



Your newly scanned channels should now work, you may at this point just stick them in "Category 16"
so you can get to them easily and wait for blade online to update the list.

But if you want to go all the way then keep reading



The new channels should appear at the bottom of the "All" category.



OK just look at the picture above and number the categories in your head, top to bottom,there are 16 categories.
(Category 16 is empty)

So

"All" would be 1
"Hidden" would be 2
"All HD" would be 3

"HD" would be 5
"Sport" would be 9

Etc

Next you need to move the channels from "All" into the correct category.

So BT sports HD 1 & 2 and Espn HD can go in "HD" and "Sport"

On the remote make sure you are in the "All" category.

Menu - Channel Editor - FAV



Look at the icons at the bottom of the screen and just count along

So the shopping trolley ( is actually 5th in the list (HD) and the heart with a number 3 (is actually 9th in the list Sport)

Highlight them, you can do all three channels, then save the changes and exit.



They now appear the the correct category



Now you can move them up and down category,go to sport category for example

Menu - Channel Editor - F2 (move) - F2 (select)

Select the files you want to move



Move to the position in the list where you want them, yellow button (move to) to drop them in place.

Delete the old channels, using channel editor, you should have the hang of it by now



Once you have done it a couple of times it really doesn't take that long to do.

Good Luck !!!

thanks bees, how do you get program name beside each channel like yours is showing?

 

[bees]

You need to download the EPG to the box to get the program name and details

Thanks again.
I see that blade online updated channel list on the 15th April. When a new list comes out, how do I do this and does it do anything to the other settings.
Thanks

why do I keep getting duplicate channels in some of my fav lists?

when I un-favourite 1 of these I lose both of them then I have to add it to the list again and this doesn't always work then when it does there are 2 again in the same list.

So I delete one of them this time which ends up deleting both which I realised meant it deletes the channel from the all satellite section so I have to do a manual scan to get it back.

Once that is done I find it add it back to the fav group I want it to go which works, hurrayyyyyyyyy, I go to another fav group watch a channel for a bit, go back to the previous group and what do I find the duplicate channel appears again out of the blue.
