How do I remove Channel Duplicates?
Background
If you have channel numbers above 799 they need to be removed, these channels are duplicates and have been allocated their 800+ number by the Humax, It as been reported that signals from duplicate channels can stop Accurate Recording from functioning correctly, also the Humax does not always allocate the strongest signal channel first, this results in poor reception on the ‘Main’ channels and better reception on the unused 800’s channels.
Perform a Manual Re-Scan
Note:- The following procedure will remove your recording schedule (but not recordings) and also your Favourites list so make a note of them before carrying out a re-scan.
- Make a note of the 6 'Main' MUXs you need to keep (rejecting weaker signals)
- Start an auto. channel re-scan e.g. Menu >> Settings >> Installation >> Automatic Search
- Stop the auto. re-scan before any channels are found (This will clear all old channels)
- Using the Noted 6 Mux. Channel numbers perform a Manual channel scan e.g. Menu >> Settings >> Installation >> Manual Search
- NOTE the Hi Def. MUX requires the DVB-T2 transmission type all others require DVB-T
- You will now have all the TV channels contained within the 6 MUXs with no duplicates
