Hi,
I am getting issues with my region. I have selected E Mids / Yorkshire and the local BBC channel is set to Lincs / Yorks. Also Itv1, 4 and 5 have been removed aswell as itv1 hd and a couple others. Is this down to the OTA guide data?
I tried setting the grab time to 90 seconds but it didnt save the setting or use the value when doing a manual grab?

I am on MP 1.3 beta with appropriate Sky grabber plugins

If anybody has any insight I would be grateful.

Cheers
Ash

I am also from the lincs/yorks region and i was advised that to get itv 1 hd to use the london region, as the local region info does not include that channel.

I currently use England bbc / east & midlands (itv) and have itv1 hd no problems, hope this is of some help to you.

Itv 4 and did you say 5? or did you mean channel 5? as there is no itv 5, as for itv 4 its also working here.

    I'm getting a few errors when trying to do a scan. It first started happening when trying to tune in sky1 hd, so I thought it might need a fresh scan and complete rebuild.

    I dropped the database, restarted setuptv and restarted the sky grabber, now I'm getting no nit found on all channels during the scan and my groups don't get populated with any channels. I wondered if was the snow and poor reception. Any assistance appreciated.

    logs attached.
    .
    This definitely weather related.. complete whiteout of most channels. Please ignore.

    I need to go up a ladder and brush a foot of snow off the dish, I think it can wait. Thanks for looking at the logs.

    I'm also getting nit errors during a scan, and have no epg since noon today?

    I have fixed my issue. Looks like it was human error again for me :oops:

    I still get 'No NIT found for : 1425', what ever that means? but after playing around with the DVB EPG menu I have unticked the 'Store data only for selected channels' and re-grabbed, and its all working. Phew.

    No NIT found for : 1423
    No NIT found for : 1424
    No NIT found for : 1425

    i started having issues with itv1 hd skipping playback and then connection lost to tv server as of today on live viewing, recordings have been playing up on that channel for a few days but thought nothing of it thinking it was bad weather or something but it seems thats not the cause.

    about to sort channels in the new scan and see if any are missing etc and test itv 1 hd

    tv server log attached

    I finally bit the bullet and upgraded my main HTPC to Windows 8 and MP 1.3 Beta. It was surprisingly straightforward and problem free, but I'm still getting the no data problem with Channel 4 +1, E4 +1 and More4.

    Is there is a fix for this? Is it a region specific bug? (My region is set as NW)

    Thanks
