EPG Empty for one Tuner

[birdman]

I very much doubt that the turbo tuner is incapable of absorbing the EPG off the Terrestrail stream.

It wouldn't be the only oddity reported with Winter Hill....

The HD DVB-T TV's all have a full epg off the Winter Hill transmitter.

Somewhere along the lines something has gone amiss with the setup of your receiver. I very much doubt that the turbo tuner is incapable of absorbing the EPG off the Terrestrail stream. I will nonetheless ask someone to confirm.

To help isolate the isue

Please do the followoing:
1. Make an image backup so you can revert to it at a later stage .
2. Halt your system using using command

init 4

3. Wait 10 seconds
4. Delete any instances of epg.dat on all your storage devices
5. Flash image 037. Do not restore any settings or plugins.
6. Only installl the drivers for your USB tuner. Do not install any other plugins
7. In the EPG menu, change to storage device to your HDD. Do not alter anything else.
8. Disable all other tuners apart from the USB tuner one. Set that for Winterhill, not Europe.
8. Create your bouquets using ABM or perform a non-ABM scan using Winterhill.
9. Zap to any Terrestrial service And waith 2 minutes.
10. Check your EPG if the problem is still there.

The above will rule out all other issues, please follow exactly. If there are no problems, we can proceed to add other items to your setup avoiding issues. If the problems still exist, you can reflash your backup image made at stage 1.

Ok so I have been through the above. I have many screen grabs of what I did and the outcome below, although the epg data did populate their is large gaps. Some took a little while to update (5 min) but some data is still missing (see times on grabs)

OK, we are making progress.

Delete all your channel data (See commandds link in my signature).
Do not use ABM. Perform a non-ABM scan and then upload your lamedb file, it is located in /etc/enigma2. You will have to zip it in order to attach it.

What option? Manual Scan?

[abu baniaz]

In the tuner config, please make sure you have selected Winter Hill. Not Europe or UK.

Yes, manual scan, then complete. If you can change to T2, do that too please.

[iamSteve]

With only allowing winter hill it did not find many channels....

Sorry to ask, are you 100% you selected complete? It looks like you only scanned one mutiplex

If complete was incomplete, change the scan mode to automatic.

[iamSteve]

I was 99% sure I did as you suggested, however to make sure I cleared the channels and did it again.

[iamSteve]

Looks like it just scanned these.......

[iamSteve]

Ok, so I tried scanning Auto for T and T2.......

I also appear to now have most if not all of the EPG for the next 7 days.

[birdman]

Well, as I noted before, tuning on Winter Hill does seem to be an oddity at the moment.....

[iamSteve]

I guess I now need to use ABM to set the channels up, then turn on the satellite feeds and use ABM?

Once downloaded I guess its CrossEPG for the Sky/Astra Satellite listings?

IIRC, the reason we added WinterHill as a separate entry in the terrestrial xml file for non-ABM scans was that there were issues with eingma2 tuning in the area.

@Iamsteve, for time being please do not use ABM for Winterhill. We'll have to add some custom transponder entries.

So far you have only got the following frequencies from your scan.

<transponder centre_frequency="706000000" bandwidth="0" system="0" <!-- Ch 50 -->
<transponder centre_frequency="778000000" bandwidth="0" system="0" <!-- Ch 59 -->
<transponder centre_frequency="770000000" bandwidth="0" system="0" <!-- Ch 58 -->
<transponder centre_frequency="738000000" bandwidth="0" system="1" <!-- Ch 54 (HD) -->
<transponder centre_frequency="698000000" bandwidth="0" system="0" <!-- Ch 49 -->
<transponder centre_frequency="746000000" bandwidth="0" system="0" <!-- Ch 55 -->
<transponder centre_frequency="754000000" bandwidth="0" system="0" <!-- Ch 56 -->

Can you manually scan these frequencies. You may have to alter the scan settings to T2

<transponder centre_frequency="554000000" bandwidth="0" system="1" <!-- Ch 31 (HD) -->
<transponder centre_frequency="602000000" bandwidth="0" system="1" <!-- Ch 37 (HD) -->
<transponder centre_frequency="762000000" bandwidth="0" system="0" <!-- Ch 57 -->

Check that you can receive channels on these frequencies. Once we have a lamedb containing all these, I will upload an ABM xml file for you.

EDIT:
Please start from scratch, do not use ABM for Terrestrail.
