Freeview Channel Mapping

Hi All

I recently got a Sky+HD box, and as I still want to keep Tivo going, have connected an old Phillips Freeview box to Tivo. After not being able to find the correct remote control codes for the Philips box... not listed under Philips but under manufacture "Freeview", found it eventually and Tivo is controlling the box fine.

However, after completing guided set-up have noticed that the channel mappings are all wrong... e.g. for BBC1 its listed 101 instead of 1.

The freeview channel numbers go from 1 to 3 digit numbers. I can see that I could manually remap the channels using TivoWeb but thought there must be an easier for me to reset them as they are all wrong... any ideas?

Many thanks.
TC

Sounds like you may have still selected "Sky" as the source during guided setup, worth double checking that you've selected digital terrestrial as the source.

Thanks Steve, I thought that as well, so repeated guided set-up again, but I defo picked Freeview rather than the Sky options... these were the only two options available but with lots of regional options for each. Worth doing a third guided set-up?

*UPDATE* oops on doing guided set-up number 3, realised its the earlier bit where you choose the input that you need the other option... sorry cannot remember what it was called now, it was second in the list though... the bit where you pick aerial + something else.

So anyway it works now so I'm happy again !
