Re: [mythtv-users] DVB EIT/EPG
Having restarted a few times things seemed to have improved, maybe there was something a little screwy about that inital run. One recurring issue i'm still having is that a few channels (e.g. channel 5, BBC Three, The Hits, Sky News) are only getting guide data for up to 3 days ahead instead of the expected 7/8 days. I know guide data should be available further ahead (tv_grab_dvb received it, as does my set-top-box). I presume this has something to do with the mux that the guide data is coming from, i.e. maybe some muxes only transmit abbreviated guide data, whilst others (e.g. BBC) transmit the full data? If this is the case, how can I set which mux is being used to get guide data? Steve ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

When I first used the new scan feature after dumping the channels it populated the guide pretty quickly. I should add that I'm running a Gentoo system so I'm using the ebuilds. As far as I can recall I didn't have to tweak any Myth settings other than selecting the on-air EPG option in mythsetup. If you need me to check anything on my setup let me know. -- Rob ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

That's what I expected. I left it on live-tv on BBC1 for half an hour, even then I had no guide data for (example) Channel-5.

Ok, so it's possible, but a setup hassle. Thanks for the response, i'll play about some more and see if I can sort this out.

First off, this is experimental code, having said that, it works quite well for me (freeview in the UK) On Fri, 2005-03-18 at 14:21 +, Stephen Williams wrote: > I have a system with two DVB-T (uk) receivers which i've just upgraded > to 0.17 from 0.16.

Not quite true, some mux's are better than others for EIT data. mux one seems to have everything most of the time. > The result is > that i'd have to sit there watching a channel for each mux in turn to > fully update the guide, not ideal!

It should be ok, but you need to switch of the OTA guide setting and fill in the xmltvid. -- John ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] DVB EIT/EPG
I have a system with two DVB-T (uk) receivers which i've just upgraded to 0.17 from 0.16. I have a few questions regarding program guide data (EPG). I've tried enabing the in-built guide grabber (by uncommenting the DVB_USING_EIT setting) but i'm having a few problems. Firstly, it only appears to be getting guide data when i'm watching / recording and not when the system is idle, is this correct / expected? Secondly, I only appear to be getting guide data for the mux/transport i'm tuned to, even though in the UK (Freeview) the guide data for all muxes are sent on every mux, is this correct / expected? The result is that i'd have to sit there watching a channel for each mux in turn to fully update the guide, not ideal! Previously i've been using tv_grab_dvb with great success to get my guide data (the system has no internet connection), is it possible to still use this tool until the wrinkles with the internal guide grabber have been sorted? ... or have the database changes made current versions of tv_grab_dvb unusable?

[mythtv-users] DVB EIT/EPG in Sweden anyone(ComHem)?
Hello, Any Swedish DVB-C (ComHem) users out there grabbing EIT/EPG info with 0.17? Please let me know how, have tried tv_grab_swedb and tv_grab_dvb with partial success. Trying to avoid too much handiwork to get my setup finished. Thanks in advance!
