Calling all MP New Zealanders (Both of you!!) - Page 123

@mcraenz - cheers, that's what I thought (and what I've been doing). It's unbelievable that the Freeview EPG hasn't been corrected...

ArnoldGoat · 2008-04-07, 01:07

In fact, the 6 o'clock news is corrected from 13 April - only a week after NZDST ended! I tried phoning Freeview, but the girl who answered didn't know what EPG was, made another enquiry, then said the problem was with my Hills box. Oh dear.

I have done a little SQL script to fix the database by adding an hour to all programmes on those days where the 6 O'Clock news is scheduled for 5. It's not likely to work very well, because MP server will overwrite my efforts when the mood takes it. By the time I work out how to synchronise the fix, the problem will probably have gone away. And by Spring, TVNZ will have renamed 'ONE News at 6pm' to something else.

Sorry this is slightly off topic, but does anyone have a complete set of Freeview logos? The only package I can find is missing a bunch of the channels (TVNZ 6 etc).. otherwise I guess I'll have to go and make some myself..

mcraenz · 2008-04-07, 02:40

No such thing as off topic in this thread

I've uploaded an updated set of Logos to the downloads section of the NZ Wiki, also included is a blank template to make more logos; hopefully people will use it so we can keep the logos clean and consistent.

madad · 2008-04-07, 03:39

Awesome! Will put these on as soon as I get home..

Too true!!

madad · 2008-04-07, 03:47

OK so here's the next question...

You mention you can record all the channels on a transponder, therefore being able to record all channels with two tuner cards, but how do you configure this to happen?]

Sorry I'm sure this has been discussed already but I can't seem to find it..

mcraenz · 2008-04-07, 04:58

No need to enable this as such. Channels just need to be mapped to both cards.

If your recording C4 on card 1 and you try to watch TV3 then card 1 will be used because it is already tuned to the same transponder. If you tried to watch TV2 then TV Server will use card 2 because Card 1 is already in use and tuned to a different Transponder (recording C4).

Make sense?

has anyone got dvb-t to work with dvb-s epg i had it working sweet i dont know how i did not do anything, but i had to reinstall svn and now its not working, any ideas?

i have set the dvb-s card as first priority for 5 mins to grab the epg for a week, but there should be an easier way

mcraenz · 2008-04-07, 07:20

I've submitted a patch that will address these issues, I'll keep you updated how I get on.
