Prime DVB-S EPG

After adding Prime to the channel table last night I can watch it okay, however I don't see any programme info in the guide.

I get my EPG from the sat feed.

Any ideas what else I have to configure?

I found I had to add an extra entry into the xmltv file for the DVB input.

I have named my DVB input DVB (original huh?) and the file
'/home/mythtv/.mythtv/DVB.xmltv' required the addition of
'channel=prime.sky.co.nz' for mythfilldatabase to do its stuff.

It usually gets populated when running the tv_grab_nz grabber config

All I did was use the channel scanner - you have to make sure you select the
option to 'update existing transports'. Prime was added, I gave it a
channel number that works for me but did nothing else, and everything was
well including the EPG feed. Quite painless really.

The only thing you have to be aware of is that there is a delay before the
EPG data comes through - should only be a few minutes. I presume there is a
setting somewhere that determines how often it refreshes itself.

Sounds like what I need.
Where do I find that xmltv file?

Sounds to me as though you are using EIT not EPG

Re: Prime DVB-S EPG [In reply to]

Thanks for the suggestions.

Adjusting the "useonairguide" and "freqid" fields (yes, had to do both)
in the channel table seems to have done the trick.

mysql> select channum, chanid, useonairguide from channel;
+---------+--------+---------------+
| channum | chanid | useonairguide |
+---------+--------+---------------+
| 1 | 1101 | 1 |
| 2 | 1102 | 1 |
| 3 | 1103 | 1 |
| 4 | 1104 | 1 |
| 6 | 1105 | 1 |
| 7 | 1106 | 1 |
| 5 | 1108 | 1 |
| 10 | 1110 | 1 |
| 11 | 1111 | 1 |
| 12 | 1112 | 1 |
| 9 | 1114 | 0 |
| 8 | 1113 | 1 |
+---------+--------+---------------+
12 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> update channel set useonairguide = 1 where chanid = 1114;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 0

mysql> select channum, chanid, useonairguide from channel;
+---------+--------+---------------+
| channum | chanid | useonairguide |
+---------+--------+---------------+
| 1 | 1101 | 1 |
| 2 | 1102 | 1 |
| 3 | 1103 | 1 |
| 4 | 1104 | 1 |
| 6 | 1105 | 1 |
| 7 | 1106 | 1 |
| 5 | 1108 | 1 |
| 10 | 1110 | 1 |
| 11 | 1111 | 1 |
| 12 | 1112 | 1 |
| 9 | 1114 | 1 |
| 8 | 1113 | 1 |
+---------+--------+---------------+
12 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> update channel set freqid = NULL where channum = 9;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 0

The wonders of TLA's - you *were* talking EIT not EPG...
