[tunefix] Automatic channel organisation and maintenance

[MikeSh]

I guess I can make a flag file that will stop it. But unless your box is on at 3am then it won't have any effect anyway.

tunefix 2.0.0 released.
This auto-reboots overnight (between 03:00 and 04:10 if on and not recording) if there has been a user induced config. change, or an update via the tunefix-update package if installed.

Just to be clear, is this function just to cater for 'always-on' boxes?

 

[Wallace]

Both my boxes wake at 04:00 for 60 minutes so that they can process the auto-decryption of the previous days recordings. I purposely assigned this time so the box wouldn't be busy.

Last thing I want is for the box/es to reboot while decryption is taking place. If, indeed, that is a possibility.

I believe decryption will stop it rebooting. But as your box appears not to be on at 3am then it's moot.

 

[Wallace]

Thank you for the confirmation.

Just a quick thank you note to prpr (and anyone else) for Tunefix and sorting it and Tunefix update to get out of the complications causes by the renaming of the Mux. As soon as I've found time to look into why I have an issue with missing channels (on COM7) I find the fix is known.

Will the Tunefix suite of plug-ins take care of this retune, or will there be a need for a manual retune

If you take a look at the history in the aforementioned thread, you will see they occur when needed, not before they are needed (which would cock up reception before the change).

Seeing as you always seem to retune regardless, what difference will it make to you?
And this is the wrong thread, as BH said.
For the record, there will be updates to handle Winter Hill and Moel Y Parc.

My local paper has published the following (supposedly happening today):
The following channels are moving or closing:

• Pick will move from channel 11 to 34
• BBC Four Scotland will move from channel 68 to 55
• Together TV will move from channel 88 to 87
• Together+1 will move from channel 89 to 88
• Smithsonian will move channel from 57 to 56
• Merit will cease broadcasting on Freeview
• Pick+1 will cease broadcasting on Freeview

If this is correct will there be an update ?

The following channels are moving or closing

At 17:40 I can confirm that at least some of the changes have happened - at least here on Rowridge,
I can add to your list: Sky Arts has replaced Pick on channel 11. At least that will be an improvement (other opinions are available).

Could you possibly expand on what region is local to you please, the term 'local' is meaningless without a point of reference

Thank you MartinLiddle, my footer appears extremely pale, hadn't previously noticed it, it is so pale, is there a setting to make the footer a little darker

I of W, yet mentions BBC Four Scotland, curious

Try playing with the font options in signature such as bold.

I can only set my own signature as bold, how do I make a change to see other signatures a bit clearer

You can't. You can only turn them on or off (by forum settings - although there might be a way to override the HTML in your browser).

...there might be a way to override the HTML in your browser).

If the browser has some sort of user styling function (userCSS, Stylus FF add-on, etc)

.message-signature {
	/* make FG colour have more green, eg */
	color: #8cff8c !important;
}

But actually I think @Andrea's problem might be solved by tweaking display settings, or just not reading the screen in bright sunshine.

I don't see Sky Arts. I have simply lost Channel 11 here in Manchester.

I guess you are fed from Winter Hill, same transmitter as me. I have Sky Arts on channel 11. Thanks to tunefix, all was done automagically.
