New option "Hide number markers"

[AlexWilMac]

Has anyone discovered the purpose of the new option in the subject, under the Configuration menu of the channel list?
I tried both yes and no answers and my channel list didn't change.

I can't find ... where is it in concrete?

 

[AlexWilMac]

Channel list/Configuration

I think the purpouse of this function comes from PLI, when enable if for any reason some of your chanels are marked n/a they will be hidden if you enable
Hide Number Marks. So you want have empty channels with numbers

Channel list/Configuration

Can you put a screenshot, please.

Open first select channel screen, Then press menu button and choose configure. In the menu find Hide Number Markers and set it to YES.

As @Alexwilmac states nothing happens ... the default option is YES.
Can the skin have any influence?

 

[Thomas67]

1. Do you have ChannelNumbers Showing? (Set to Yes)

2. Do you have any empty channels in your list?

My screenshot is just a photoShop fake to show the function since i have no empty channels and dont use channel numbers

 

[p.rodrigues]

I get it... although here it happens in reverse!
Not exactly in the created channel list but in all channels that are tuned in the box:

Hide channel number (yes):

​

looks like this (doesn't hide):

​

Hide channel number (no):

​

It looks like this (hides):

But you still have no empty channels Up here in Norway the provider changes the service id for FHD channels every 4-th month and that gives a lot of <n/a> when scannibg for new frequences.
If the option Channelnumbers is on and Hide Channel Markers is on then i dont have to scroll through several <n/a> channels but this was a PLI special and looks like the OE Alliance have adapted
this function. But still i am not 100% sure its the same function as with PLI

 

[p.rodrigues]

I don't think I have any empty channels ... when it happens I'll see if I remember to check. Thank you.

 

[AlexWilMac]

I have some channels n/a, but this option doesn't hide neither them nor the channel numbers (something, anyway, I don't like because is extremely useful to know them).

 

[Thomas67]

Then I really dont now what its for. I know that PLI hade this function but as you write. Its nice to now when something is wrong and not hide it
But thats PLIs mantra hide all errors and we doont need to fix them
