EPG Refresh, iEPG and VPS

[goRt]

I'll say again... there is no EIT on 28 east.

1. So what's the field in the timers labelled eit?:

<timer begin="1611478800" end="1611482520" serviceref="1:0:19:1B1D:802:2:11A0000:0:0:0:" repeated="0" rename_repeat="1" name="The Andrew Marr Show" description="Andrew Marr is joined by Nicola Sturgeon MSP, Matt Hancock MP, Lisa Nandy MP and Yuli Edelstein. With news review by Geri Scott. [S] [HD]" afterevent="auto" eit="19211" tags="AutoTimer The_Andrew_Marr_Show" justplay="0" always_zap="0" pipzap="0" conflict_detection="1" descramble="1" record_ecm="0" isAutoTimer="1">
<log code="500" time="1610921689">[AutoTimer] Try to add new timer based on AutoTimer The Andrew Marr Show.</log>
<log code="509" time="1610921689">[AutoTimer] Timer start on: Sun Jan 24 09:00:00 2021</log>
</timer>
<timer begin="1611478801" end="1611482520" serviceref="1:0:19:4484:4083:233A:EEEE0000:0:0:0:" repeated="0" rename_repeat="1" name="The Andrew Marr Show" description="Andrew Marr is joined by Nicola Sturgeon MSP, Matt Hancock MP, Lisa Nandy MP and Yuli Edelstein. With news review by Geri Scott. [S] [HD]" afterevent="auto" eit="19211" justplay="0" always_zap="0" pipzap="0" conflict_detection="1" descramble="1" record_ecm="0" isAutoTimer="0">
<log code="15" time="1611476550">record time changed, start prepare is now: Sun Jan 24 08:59:41 2021</log>
</timer>

2. And what does the VPS plugin interrogate then?

3. Why doesn't the eit field populated from iepg-1 match that from crossepg - if, as you assert, they are from the same source then the inbuilt harvester must be incorrectly populating the field:

Crossepg:

<timer begin="1610996400" end="1611000120" serviceref="1:0:19:52D0:814:2:11A0000:0:0:0:" repeated="0" rename_repeat="1" name="Channel 4 News" description="Channel 4&apos;s flagship news programme. Including the weather." afterevent="auto" justplay="0" always_zap="0" pipzap="0" conflict_detection="1" descramble="1" record_ecm="0" isAutoTimer="1" eit="4934" tags="AutoTimer Channel_4_News" autoTimerId="172">
<log code="500" time="1610394313">[AutoTimer] Try to add new timer based on AutoTimer Channel 4 News.</log>
<log code="509" time="1610394313">[AutoTimer] Timer start on: Mon Jan 18 19:00:00 2021</log>
</timer>

iepg-1:

<timer begin="1610990101" end="1610992920" serviceref="1:0:19:1B1C:802:2:11A0000:0:0:0:" repeated="0" rename_repeat="1" name="Pointless" description="" afterevent="auto" justplay="0" always_zap="0" pipzap="0" conflict_detection="1" descramble="1" record_ecm="0" isAutoTimer="0" eit="49684" tags="">

</timer>
