No DVB EPG for ITV1 HD (Freesat) (1 Viewer)

[RobNorthcott]

Should I be getting EPG for ITV1 HD from the normal "freesat info" (or whatever it's called) radio channel?
The channel itself works, but I don't get any guide for it. Do I need to include another channel in the EPG grab, or does it have to be done with webEPG or something?

(not that there's ever anything on there worth watching - it just annoys me that the epg is empty. How sad )

I cannot remember.

I now use Miroslav's Sky EPG grabber and it just fills the EPG with no probs - well except for ITV4+1. It also give 'series link' too.

Thanks porky, might give that a try sometime.

I'm a complete noob at this, so could be wrong, but if it's anything like my setup last night I think you probably have the wrong ITV HD. Look in your channel list for another.

Thanks - pretty sure I checked that though - there are a few versions of ITV-HD but AFAIK none of them had epg. I've got some other freaky epg issues now (BBC3 doesn't even appear in the list received from freesatinfo any more) so I'll probably end up using webepg for some channels, or trying Miroslav's Sky thing.

Hi Rob,

I use a combination of Miroslav's SKY EPG and Web EPG for the channels that Miroslav's scanner didn't pick up. I think EPG problems occur if there is a duplicate channel in the mptv database. This combined solution I use was just a short cut to get everything working until I can be arsed analysing the channel database.

I set up webepg for the missing channels last night - seems to be working fine
Had a quick look at the Miroslav/djBlu thread and it sounds like it's a bit overkill for freesat (if it works at all?)
