[QUOTE="Jasmeet_181, post: 1270341, member: 56089"] I've looked through some old threads, specifically [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/astra-28-missing-channels-when-scanning.96305/']this one[/URL]. You can manually add data channels. [LIST] [*]Open TV-Server Configuration [*]Click on TV Channels or Radio Channels (I'll assume Radio for the rest of the instructions) [*]At the bottom under Channels click on Add [*]In the Edit Channel window, name the channel FreesatHome [*]Click on Add [*]Choose DVB-S [*]Add the following in the Add / Edit DVB-S Tuningdetail window [/LIST] [INDENT=2]DiSEQc: None (you'll know if you need it)[/INDENT] [INDENT=2]Frequency: 11425000[/INDENT] [INDENT=2]Symbol Rate: 27500[/INDENT] [INDENT=2]Polarisation: Horizontal[/INDENT] [INDENT=2]Modulation: QPSK[/INDENT] [INDENT=2]Inner FEC Rate: 2/3[/INDENT] [INDENT=2]Pilot: Not Set[/INDENT] [INDENT=2]Roll Off: Not Set[/INDENT] [INDENT=2]Network ID: 59[/INDENT] [INDENT=2]Transport ID: 2315[/INDENT] [INDENT=2]Service ID: 10500[/INDENT] [INDENT=2]PMT PID: 3000[/INDENT] [INDENT=2]Provider: Freesat[/INDENT] [INDENT=2]Tick Free To Air[/INDENT] [LIST] [*]Click on Ok and Ok again in the Edit Channel window [*]Go to Radio Mapping and map the channel to your satellite tuner(s) [*]Go to Radio EPG Grabber and make sure FreesatHome is ticked [*]In Manual Control click on Refresh DVB EPG and click Ok on the pop-up window [/LIST] It should now be working as before. Remember to turn off EPG Collector schedules or limit the mapped channels it to non-Freesat channels (Channel 4 HD) if moving back. That's how is should look if you've already saved your mappings before, you can you the drop downs under guide channel to change them if you think they're wrong. Have you checked the TVGuide file to see if the data is there or tried importing the 32-bit PC's TVGuide on your 64-bit PC (the file size should also be similar). EPG Collector has a [URL='https://sourceforge.net/p/epgcollector/discussion/1125946/']help forum[/URL], where the developer (Steve Bickell) is active. You could post your logs there so he can look into the issue. [URL='http://www.digitalbitrate.com/dtv.php?mux=11425&liste=1&live=69&lang=en']DigitalBitRate[/URL] lists them, the MP logs also list them after a scan. I'm not an expert but: For MP to add TV channels or radio stations during a scan, there must be at least an audio pid (radio). None of the Freesat services on their home transponder have one now. MP looks for [URL='https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1/blob/master/DirectShowFilters/TsWriter/source/epgDecoder.cpp#L39']pid 3002 and 3003[/URL] for the Freesat EPG, most of the services on Freesat's home transponder have these pids which point pack to FreesatHome's. Technoweary tried grabbing from TRP 1, which is the only TV channel on the transponder, and reported that there is no EPG available through it in post 9, the pids aren't there according to DBR either.

Gen 3 boxes were supposed to launch around then but have been repeatedly delayed (and accidentally sold by Amazon :LOL:). DJBlu's custom data grabber was killed when Sky removed the music used in the menus for non-PVR SD STBs which didn't support the small TV window of newer boxes, I thought this was the same situation.
