No EIT Data on Crystal Palace MUX 2

I recently rescanned the DVB Channels in my MythTV system and have had a
few problems since:

Firstly, I couldn't get a lock on any of the Mux 2 Channels, even though
the scan detected them. I managed to resolve this by scanning each
Transport individually.

Unfortunately, I now have a problem getting the EIT Data for the Mux 2
channels (all of the other channels are receiving data correctly).

Is there any way I can re-initialize the EIT data or force a scan for
this MUX?

Regards,
Dave.

Using the channel editor in mythtv-setup, check each of the mux #2
channels and determine whether the "use on-air guide" flag is set for
them - and enable it if it isn't. As I understand DVB-T, EIT listings
for all channels are carried on each mux, so the mux 2 channel
listings should be receivable from the other muxes. EIT is enabled on
the source and non-mux #2 channels if you are seeing correct listings
for the other DVB-T channels.

I'd also check the 6 muxes in the channel scanner to ensure that each
mux has a valid networkid and transportid, just to be thorough.

Cheers,
Nick

I've got "use on-air guide" set for all of the MUX2 channels, what am I
looking for for valid networkid and transportid values?

Dave.

The networkid for Freeview is 9018 for the whole of the UK - is there
anyone who can confirm or deny this? transportid values will be
particular to your transmitter, but should be a 4 or 5 digit number.
If your multiplex entries have non-zero numbers for these values after
a scan, they should be valid. You should only have 6 Freeview muxes in
your multiplex table - how many do you have?

Cheers,
Nick
