  • I just got my Z11 Pro Max. I'm loving mytvonline3. It's far better than mytvonline2.
    But two things confuse me...

    1. If you have more than one portal active, enabled, when searching for channel names, I don't know how to tell which portal the channels belong to. Anyone have any ideas? The UI doesn't make it clear.

    2. Since mytvonline3 shows you all the portals at once, how do favourites work when you have more than one portal? All get mashed together? You see them separated?

  • Hi

    Little addition to henkies post:

    1) Not possible afaik, only after choosing a channel, you can see the provider (info). I've asked this before. Now the channels are ordered as they are listed as provider and their groups. I also asked earlier to be able to switch the order of the providers manually.

    2) I believe you mean on vods and series. Last added favourites are on the top of the list, but indeed all mashed up. Also this I asked earlier...

    Formuler Z11 Pro Max - XC API Portal - Mol3 (standard and occasional TiviMate as backup) - External HDD Toshiba 1 TB (usb 3.0) - Nord VPN

  • Both are set and downloaded from provider like provider did set it on his server. Even if possible to reorder on Box, next content refresh or channel list load from provider would rearrange everything. Therefore are this things not possible like you requested.

    It is probably better to create a unique favorite for each service - like I do :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: This became apparent soon after I received my Z11. My first attempt using one favorite group was a disaster.

    I have 3 service providers and three favorite groups named as; FAVORITE-ServiceA, FAVORITE-ServiceB and FAVORITE-ServiceC where "ServiceA' (and B & C) will be the trade name of the service.

    Now when you are using the guide with one of those favorite groups, the NAME of the group is displayed in the upper left of the screen to help sort out the who you are sampling.


    Cheers!

    Ah.. ok! This is the most useful idea I've seen so far.
    So you're saying if I'm going to have (as I do) Sports, NY Sports, Football, etc etc etc, that I instead do Sports - Service A, NY Sports - Service A, Football - Service A, and so on for the other service. Right? So then at least when you go to the favourites menu you can point to the service you want.

    I was just hoping that maybe you could just not be shown the other ones when in the other service. That would be cleaner I suppose.

    Still doesn't solve the search thing though. You search one network and its appearance in each service shows up with no identifier for which service each search result is. The only thing that comes up is group name and channel. You'd have to rename each group?!?! No thank you! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

  • No, I mean in the groups of favourites you can make for your regular live tv. You make groups A B and C but do all the favourites of all your portals end up together? How would you know which belonged to which portal?

    No, because you chose which channel from specific sub. goes into created favorites category, easy done.

    Well in my case, I'm going to have the exact same favourites groups in both subs. So I still don't get how I will know which one I'm looking at when I go to "Favourites".

    And I also don't understand the search thing. No indication of sub, nothing in the names of channels, nothing visual separating the subs, etc. Difficult to navigate.

    The "supplier name" from the portal is shown in the upper left of any screen that is showing the Supplier Group (or Your Favorite Group) and that is how you know which SUB you are viewing.

  • Hi,i have two subs. and i can differentiate between them by the different logos the same channels (per provider) are having,without the sub.name showing up:winking_face:

  • When I look at my favourites, there is nothing as I scroll through them that in any way states where that favourite channel is from, I just tested it.

    The NAME you gave the current GROUP (Favorite, of course) is always displayed in the upper left screen corner of both the GUIDE and the CHANNEL list displays. It will always show the label [Favorite] plus the SUB names added to it. It clearly shows the current channel's SUB name that you added.

    Did I misunderstand the issue?

    Yes.

    Add two channels from two different portals or sources to a favourites folder. Go in that folder. Nothing tells you what source either is from. Especially problematic when you want to grab the same channel from two different sources to have those options. And you can't rename channels, so that isn't an option.

    Search any name of a smaller channel when you have two or more sources. All instances come up in search without any indication from the software which source the result belongs to. This forces you to pick one, go to it, see where it comes from, then go back to the search to find the next one until you get the one you want from the source you're trying to access.
