Missing some BBC Olympic HD channels? (1 Viewer)

[TheBatfink]

Hi, I've ran a couple of scans now and I can't find a few channels that have been added for the Olympics. I'm after the HD channels and it has found all of the 24 channels except for:

BBC Olym 5 HD
BBC Olym 6 HD
BBC Olym 11 HD
BBC Olym 12 HD
BBC Olym 13 HD
BBC Olym 14 HD
BBC Olym 19 HD
BBC Olym 20 HD

Don't suppose any has any ideas why this is? I've ran three scans on each of my dual tuners, but it only found the ones it found on the first scan and each of the additional scans failed to add anything.

From what I can gather there should definately be channels 1 through 24 in HD?

Thanks!

I did manual single transponder scans using the six transponders listed
http://www.bbc.co.uk/reception/info/bbc_olympics_channels.shtml
enter the details as here (with a roll-off of 0.35 and NOT DEFINED pilot) and then you should pick up all 24 (I am assuming the tuning details are not quite up to date)

Hey thanks. Once I figured out the frequencies need 000 adding to the end of the numbers on the BBC website when entering into MP it worked

Thanks

Fantastic. Thanks.

I just tried this and have all 24 SD and all 24 HD channels.

Do either of you have epg for the Olympic channels?

I'm assuming that since it is an interactive service there is a 'menu' channel but I can't seem to find it?

I get EPG via Digiguide and xmltv but I thought this was included in the standard Freesat EPG?

I use the SkyEPG enhancement builds so got no idea with the standard freesat guide. You'd of thought there was epg info, there is with Sky.

jameson_uk can you let know why you use digiguide and xml and what advantages there are?

Also, are there any gaps in the epg?

I use the freesat + DVB-T over the air guides which works really well.

Thanks

14 days worth of top quality data. Includes series and episode details (so can avoid duplicate recordings)

Costs money though...

Hi Jameson,

I've been thinking about going this route instead of OTA. I see that the WebEPG plugin provides Digiguide data (I assume by scraping ?). Do you know of the quality of data is much different/ better if you go the subscription/ xmltv route? Happy to pay if it is .

Thanks,

Mick.
