http://www.linxelectronics.com/products/tvlinx/downloads/tvlinx_pressrelease.pdf I also never said that the data would be accurate.. I have 1 channel here that has stopped sending anything on the 0x1FFB PID for about 2 weeks now.. I have another that sends Certain EITs and certain ETTs but they don't overlap properly so you never get the ETTs you are expecting.. But adding channels to a database driven by the Internet scares me.. The channels should be fuzzy matched to what the OTA stream says is present.. I have virtual channels added and removed all the time.. In addition to that the Guide I can get for OTA HDTV in my market is all wrong except for 1 station that I get good PSIP from anyway.. Mixing and matching is the right way to do it, and is planned as well.. This will make sense when I put the DVB Code into myth-cvs.. I am going to just put in what I have in a day or two since Issac already told me on IRC I have no room to complain, which is is most correct.. I guess I had a different impression of how CVS should be used for a project like this.. I also have been looking at all of Daniels code, and being sure to read anything related to ATSC and the PCHDTV card the whole time I have been developing this code.. > ...which is also a good place to grab PSIP guide data and use it to > supplement what's already present.

I have posted proposals and gotten little to no feedback here, guess it just depends on whos reading and who cares.. Usuaully when DVB is mentioned I have a feeling no one in North America even reads the posts.. Maybe I am wrong.. _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
