thanks for th patch.
i tried it with svn 16772 and it doesn't seem to find epg data for me.
is there anyone else out there who has had success with this?

is there any meaningful logging that i can turn on which will help debug
this?

i also noticed this in my log:

2008-05-22 22:54:28.728 DTVSM(0) Error: Wrong PMT; pmt->pn(10070)
desired(10072)

2008-05-22 22:54:28.910 DTVSM(0) Error: Wrong PMT; pmt->pn(10060)

has this got anything to do with it?

Did you empty the eit_cache table and (possibly) the program table as
well? It will need to reload the EIT information. I've been using the
fixes branch but I did test it with SVN 17338 before I submitted it.

well in response to your email i first cleared eit_cache and then
(because i could not see what was coming in because i was using
tv_grab_uk_rt to fill the program table) i deleted that also. i left it
to run for the best part of 24 hours and it has filled up with program
data. from observing it, it seems to transmit data in a quite random
fashion. it also does not seem to send data for relatively soon program
- the assumption being that this runs continuously and for a long time
(i suppose with a STB this is a reasonable assumption).

this is fantastic work. thank you very much.

What channels came up with programs ? I'm running r17648 of
branches/release-0-21-fixes for 24+ hours and see no program data yet

I have got it working, it turned out to be a configuration issue in
myth. What I'm now seeing are scheduling errors due to the bug in the EIT

FreeView: Program ID: www.channel4.com/42790/004
FreeSat: Program ID: /42790/004

No it's not a bug in the EIT as such

The first part of the program id is pulled out of the database.
It gets there as a result of a channel scan with mythtv, as the
info is stored in the SDT and we don't monitor that during
EIT scanning.

So you will need to rescan the input containing the freesat
channels. If that information isn't then populated then there
is a bug in the scanner.

I'm seeing the same thing. A full scan of all transponders on astra
(FREESAT) does not populate the default_authority field , which I guess
is where the first part of the program Id comes from ? I havnt tried
wiping the channel table to carry out a truly clean scan...didn't want
the pain.

Having now got myself a dvb-s card i can confirm that scanning Astra
doesn't populate the default_authority. So there is a bug here
