Strange channel problem

[Coyote Jack]

I am running a Dreamlink T3 and a Dreamlink DLite W. They are both on the same p5 portal to start with. Two days ago the T3 dropped a few channels, Science, Fox News to name a couple. There are others. The Dlite also dropped the Science 194 channel but has Fox News 205 and most of the others. The T3 had dropped Court TV 187 but it is now back. I have tried changing the portal with no change and also did a reset and no change. One thing I noticed is the channel logo for Fox News is different from one box to the other. The T3 has the Fox News logo but also has Fox 5 Atlanta logo. The DLite has the standard Fox News logo. Another thing I noticed is the channel lineup has changed dramatically on the T3. Between Channel 1 and approximately 450 they are the way they always were but after that totally different. Any ideas on what else I might try to get the dead channels back on the T3?

MAC,XC API or M3U?

Both are API or the Dreamlink equivalent.

different channel order is usually the result of the method of connection, probably why big mac asked which method.
The m3u would have a different channel numbered order then the MAC method. The API equivalent works similar.

Try switching the T3 to the MAC connection to see if any differences.

I will give it a try. As you know from our last conversations, these things are temperamental. I will report back.

I was able to get it to work with the MAC connection and got most of the channels back on the T3. Now I just have to get the EPG offset proper and it should be good to go.

There was some trick thing that we did with that off set, but heck if I remember what it was :eek;

I went looking but I may have been thinking of the Channel numbering

I had another go at it this morning. I now have everything as it should be on the T3. Time is right, epg is right and all channels are now working. I ended up using the Mac method with sign in and added /c/index.html to the end of the portal address. Thanks crazed 9.6, again.

Hopefully my wife will be much happier now. lol
