[Bug 263501] Re: Exclude scrambled channels from channel.conf

 

Firstly, bugs are not a valid place to raise feature requests, please
use a blueprint.  Secondly, I don't think that your point is valid.  If
people don't want the channels then it should be their decision to
delete them,  The issue is not as trivial as you make it sound.  What if
the user has a CA device but it can only be used on certain channels?

Bug description:
When you do a channel scan you can see information about whether a channel is scrambled (encrypted) or not.

The scrambled channels aren't possible to watch so they should be excluded from the channels.conf (or if anyone ever would have a reason to still have them there, mark them red and place all of them in the bottom of the channel list perhaps).

Example for encrypted channel:

0x0000 0x03c0: pmt_pid 0x03c0 Nonstop Television -- Star! (running, scrambled)
0x0000 0x0348: pmt_pid 0x0348 Kanal 5 Ltd -- Kanal 9 (running, scrambled)

Example for non-encrypted channel:

0x0000 0x033e: pmt_pid 0x033e V -- The Voice (running)
0x0000 0x16f8: pmt_pid 0x16f8 Sveriges Television -- SVT1 Sydnytt (running)
0x0000 0x16bc: pmt_pid 0x16bc Sveriges Television -- SVT1 Västnytt (running)
