6. Edit the channellist

What is a bouquet?
A bouquet can be thought of something like a folder. Every channel equals a page in this
folder and the pages are sorted into categories.

This way you can create a bouquet called “Kids”, for example, under which you “file” all
children’s stations. Another example would be to create a bouquet called “Sports“ where you
put all sports channels. This way you can create several topic related bouquets.

Note: You can only delete channels in the favorites view

You cannot delete the channels in the “All” view. The use of the “All” view is to keep an
internal list of all available stations. If you start a new channel search the result would be
saved to the “All” view for example. You favorites bouquet will stay untouched. This way you
can easily add newly found channels from the “”All” list to your favorites bouquet. To see how
it is done refer to section 6.2.

Incase you are using two different types of tuners in your Dreambox, for example a DVB-S
and a DVB-T tuner, you can link services that you receive on both tuners in the alternative
services list.

Every services resides on a so called transponder. A transponder contains a number of
services.

Example: ZDF-Transponder via satellite
This transponder contains the services: 3sat, Kika, ZDF, ZDFdokukanal, ZDFinfokanal,
ZDFtheaterkanal

If you now start a recording or enable the PiP function on “ZDF” only the services on the
same transponder on this tuner are available any more.

The unavailable services will be marked grey in the services list, once a service on one of the
tuners is in use either by recording or by PiP.
