Bad "Watch TV" channel

Post #1 of 4 (498 views)

I have a Watch TV channel that wasn't working well so I went into the
database and updated the field "visible = -1" in the "channel" table for
it. Now my Watch TV channel is pointing at it by default and Watch TV
won't come up. Is there any way to reset the default Watch TV channel in
the database to be something besides that channel? I don't remember
which channel it was.

I think the Watch TV logic should be something like

if current Watch TV channel isn't disabled, use that channel
else find next channel that isn't disabled and use that one

Navigate to the program guide, select a channel there and select the
option to watch it. That will watch the channel and set it as the
default for next time.

The easiest way to reset it may be to go to the programme guide, select
any channel you wish, and and 'Watch this channel'.

Thanks! I'll give it a whirl.
