RADIODELETE TAP

1 INTRODUCTION

The RadioDelete TAP deletes all your radio channels so that the Tv/Radio Button no longer has any effect. If you wish to still listen to radio channels, the “OneList” TAP should be run first.

It uses the “automated finger” approach, i.e. simulated key presses are generated just as if you were deleting the channels manually, but much faster. The key sequence is that for the UK TF5800 model, so this will not work on any models with a different channel delete sequences.

2 Use

Download the TAP from here. Unzip “RadioDelete.zip” and copy “RadioDelete.tap” into “/ProgramFiles” or a folder therein, but NOT “Auto Start”. Inhibit at least any TAPs which use the OK, Red, or Up/Down/Left/Right keys as activation keys, but preferably all other TAPs, e.g. by rebooting with the zero key or inhibiting them with TAP Commander. Run the TAP from the native Toppy archive, and you will see it going through the native Toppy delete channel sequence for each radio channel in turn. A window in the bottom right hand corner provides a countdown of channels left to delete.

No re-boot is required on completion. A completion message is displayed, and the Toppy switched to your first TV channel (normally BBC1 in the UK) whether or not it is in your favourites list.

3 WARNING

YOU USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, PARTICULARLY ON MODELS OTHER THAN THE TF5800.

4 Version History

Alpha 1 – abortive attempt to use a more elegant technique which would work on any model.

Alpha 2 – first version based on the “automated finger” approach.
