You must look what channel this EPG goes for.

From a line:
Idleepggrabber: no channel found for networkid:0x1006 transportid:0xd1 serviceid:0xc2

to take networkid, transportid, serviceid.
Translate them in decimal values.
In the program Mysqladministrator, in the table of tuningdetail, to find a line proper this channel. In the proper columns to replace the indicated values take networkid, transportid, serviceid.

After the maintenance of changes to start Mediaportal, include an interesting channel to wait 2 minutes, and to enjoy.

First of all THANK YOU!!!! I will look into how to convert to decimal values... i have only a VERY simple grasp of SQL. But i can figure out how to do this manually.

Is there anytype of script that could automate this... i have 600-700 channels that have NO epg.

Also should this information have been pulled from the scan? from Sat 119/110 Dish?

Make attempt pay regard to incongruous parameters. As a rule it either networkid or transportid. And then change these parameters in turn for all transponder without the search of value in epg.log

Decimalizing is possible by the calculator of Windows.

Ok, Again i REALLY appreciate the HELP!!!

Ok let me see if i understand.

1. NetworkID are the same for all channels on any transponder??

2. TransportID are the the same for all channels on any transponder??

3. If i type in ONLY transportID value then EPG WILL WORK??

4. If i type in ONLY NetworkID value then EPG WILL WORK??

5. EPG Does NOT need BOTH transportID and NetworkID... JUST 1 of them??:confused:

Sent me please epg.log and parameters of channel in the table of tuningdetail which epg does not work for.

For work of EPG the exact coincidence of all parameters is needed indicated in the stream of EPG (those that specified in epg.log) and parameters of tuning of channel in the table of tuningdetail.
Sometimes in the parameters of channel (TRANSPORTID, NETWORKID) parameters are specified proper the parameters of transponder, but not provider.

It seems that Dish has been playing with their NetworkIDs, and TransponderIDs, in the last little bit. Anyone that scans for updates or starts from scratch will have problems as the EPG data doesn't currently correspond to the new NIDs and TIDs. As cybernn mentioned, you can edit these by hand, or you can wait to see what Dish has planned. I'm guessing the EPG data will change onces all channels have moved over to the new IDs...

I may be whipping up a sql script later to fix it in the interm. If I do, I will post for all...

OK,
My EPG.LOG is 120MB its HUGE!!!! some 28,000 lines of info... Most of it is duplicates! So i fumbled around MS Access and i was able to eliminate all the duplicates and now i only have a simple spread sheet. I was thinking I might be able to figure out how to make an SQL query that would insert the data from my spreadsheet into the SQL Database and fill in all the missing holes??
I got stuck at how to batch convert all the HEX numbers to Decimal... ARG.. I wish i knew SQL!! :confused::confused::confused::confused:

Here are my missing channels...
:D

I thought if i could make an SQL Query do this:
******************************************************
IF networkid or transportid are blank then
lookup cid on spreadsheet.xml and merge missing data
*****************************************************

LOl, but i dont know SQL

Any chance you have a good channel list export for DISH that i can just import..?? I got everything but the EPG working on my MP setup but its killing me. I created a tabbed.txt file that only contains the missing EPG CIDs if knew VB or SQL i could script them to merge the missing data into my sql dbase but im lost :(

iv got 2400 lines of unique CIDs and finding the 600 that i need and manually adding the Nids and Tids would be INSANE yikes

Not necessarily to know SQL.
What SQL a server stands for you?
If MySQL setup that MySQL 5 GUI tools.
After setup, start MYSQL Administrator.
In the section of Catalogs choose your database (certainly it is named Mptvdbrc2).
In this base choose the table of tuningdetail.
Start "Edit table data", after menu of File -> Export.

And on an occasion epg.log, delete this file and start a channel again. Tvserver again will create him, and he will be less size.

    My provider has started to put episode numbers and first run info in their EPG, but MP doesn't pick it up. Any chance this may be added?
