    Managing channels and channel numbers by myself


    Hi everyone!

    I was wondering if there is a possibility to edit the channel numbers the One is sending out to my set top box. I'm watching satellite tv in Germany where you don't have a provider telling you what order the channels are in. So I'd like to tell the console
    that sky cinema should be on channel 23. Is this already possible or is there a different solution? Because I know, the Sky provider settings in One Guide only implement the guidelines from Sky Germany with a lot of gaps between the channels. Would be somewhere
    between exhausting and impossible by placing the channels on the numbers where OneGuide wants them to be in my set top box. I'm using a Dream Media Dreambox 8000 HD.

    Thank you in advance for any help you can provide Managing channels and channel numbers by myself :)

    :)

    I have AT&T Uverse also and my channel numbers are all screwed up. For example my CBS is on channel 1005 when its actually 1003. All my network channels are screwed up like that. I havent had the problem you are having with the channel numbers not inputting
    correctly though. So far it works correctly when changing channels.

    All I want for Xmas is "Xbox Channel Up or Channel Down" Managing channels and channel numbers by myself :)

    Amen to both of these suggestions. Having to navigate channels just by the name is not useful - I don't remember half the names of the channels I like but I know the channel numbers like the back of my hand..

    Comcast channels wrong

    I think the problem is that going to "OneGuide settings -> Troubleshooting -> Report a OneGuide Problem" and entering the channel and a correct number isn't really triggering a review because the channel number is already correct (because two numbers are
    showing in OneGuide for that channel)!

    The problem is that there are multiple listings for the channel in the OneGuide. For example, here in Richmond, the OneGuide shows ESPNHD on 252 and 850. The correct channel is 850. Channel number 252 is now a defunt channel in Richmond and has no programming
    on it--the channel no longer exists. So I'm assuming that when the guide data was updated on Microsoft's servers the delete channels didn't get removed--only new ones were added or existing ones were updated. As such we now have two channel numbers for the
    same channel in a lot of cases.

    Having two numbers means voice commands don't work--it seems that the lowest channel number is chosen when there are duplicates ("xbox watch ESPN" pulls up 252, which is non-existent, instead of 850).

    We here in Richmond simply need the defunct/dead channels removed from the OneGuide.

    Reporting it through the console doesn't seem to be fixing this problem.

    Comcast channels wrong

    I think the problem with reporting the "wrong number" for a channel number through "OneGuide settings -> Troubleshooting -> Report a OneGuide Problem" is that the lineup doesn't get reviewed because the number reported for the channel actually is correct
    in the guide! For example, when I report that ESPN is a "wrong number" and should be on 850, well....it does show on 850 in OneGuide. So I'm assuming this doesn't trigger a full lineup review. The problem is that OneGuide ALSO shows it on 252 (here in Richmond).
    252 is now defunct and doesn't exist as a channel via Comcast. So when we say "XBOX watch ESPN" it seems like it must internally grab the lowest channel number it can find for that HD channel and then try to change the cable box channel number to that.

    So reporting a wrong channel number by giving an example doesn't seem to really work because the one we give is correct and already in the guide. The problem is that there is an "extra" channel number in the guide for a channel like ESPN and it's the extra
    channel that is wrong--it shouldn't exist as any channel, period. There's no way to report this fallacy through the interface.

    It's also missing number buttons. Want go from channel 5 to channel 2005? Hold down channel up for 10 minutes.

    Flight Simulator 2020 won't start

    * If you are in the Microsoft INSIDER PREVIEW program for Windows 10, a newer version of the OS was released in the latter part of August 2020 (Build 20197.rs_prerelease.200818-1420) which is the developer channel edition. You would see a different build
    number if you are in the Beta or Release Preview channels instead of the DEVeloper channel. For myself, the new build numbers solved the problem of the failed install of Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020 release). Hope this helps. A word about the DEVELOPER
    channel- easy to join but very awkward to leave or quit (requires a total fresh clean install of Windows 10). Be sure to carefully read the warnings before opting-in. FYI.
